“WORLD OF SORROW I can’t stand your face marring my scarred reflection Won’t you go back where you come from? Are you here to help me or just observation? An angel in a demon’s body You’re from a perfect world Why lower yourself To my world of sorrow? I’m from another place I can’t rise above…” quote by Frank Green

““WORLD OF SORROW   I can’t stand your face marring my scarred reflection Won’t you go back where you come from? Are you here to help me or just observation? An angel in a demon’s body   You’re from a perfect world Why lower yourself To my world of sorrow? I’m from another place I can’t rise above Myself for tomorrow   Go away, I’ll keep all my lacerations The blood is the only thing that’s true I just cannot stand all your accusations That’s why I’d rather be alone   You’re from a perfect world Why lower yourself To my world of sorrow? I’m from another place I can’t rise above Myself for tomorrow   It hurts me so To see the beauty of your face It burns me so For you are something I can never be   So stay here, you think you’ll bring me salvation But all it does is poison me so I’ll stay here myself and bring you damnation For that is what I’m made to do   You’re from a perfect world Why lower yourself To my world of sorrow? I’m from another place I can’t rise above Myself for tomorrow””
