Lark (Eshu)/Introduction

“I'm embarrassed to say the rest is a rock and roll cliche I hit the bottom when I reached the top. But I never knew it was you who was breaking my heart. I thought you had to love me but you did not. Yes, a heart can hallucinate if it's completely starved for love. It can even turn monsters into angels from above. You forged my love just like a weapon and you turned it against me like a knife. You broke my last heartstring. You opened up my eyes. So goodbye Alice in Wonderland, goodbye yellow brick road. There is a difference between dreaming and pretending. That was not love in your eyes, It was only a reflection of my lonely mind searching for what was missing in my life. Growing up is not an absence of dreaming, It's being able to understand the difference between the ones you can hold, And the ones that you've been sold. And dreaming is a good thing cause it brings new things to life, But pretending is an ending that perpetuates a lie. Forgetting what you are. Seeing for what you've been told. Ohh truth is stranger than fiction this is my chance to get it right. And life is much better without all of those pretty lies” – Jewel - Goodbye Alice in Wonderland
