I'm screaming for a savior... Only to be redeemed by the only one who was ever there for me.... Myself. And, now, alone I'll stand to watch the world burn itself alive, along with every person who ever lied and told me that I was worth something, along with each memory that brought a mere temporary smile to my lips. I'll stand in the raining ashes and inhale the smoke of what remains---- sweet nothingness.
