[English]

The prettiest girl in all the land was

left alone without a hand. To hold her

teacher, mold or prey. She fell down the

sewer and got led astray. Monsters,

demons, and all the rest took her soul

and innocence. They tweezed and pulled

all that was left till she was made a

Disney princess.

Don't drive till I end

the words I feel since I was young.

Please don't go.

You're the only one

who say is my soul.

[ __ ] these others.

I start the dying light.

[ __ ] you.

Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat.

asking where I was from. Too young with

nothing on parents got rich out having

fun. Party at mine is what I saw the

trains

can't cross this gold.

It's my name that they know

this far

and I'm so miserable.

I want to kill you.

Yeah.

Heat.

Heat. Heat.

Heat.

Heat.

Yeah.

Heat.
