what I am
what I want
what I dream
what I deserve
don't matter no more

the world is my pimp
and I am its whore

they say the mirror
never lies

... though sometimes it just
makes up the truth

Tell me Master
is it true
that it is I
who hold the strings
and not You?

maybe
this life
is not what I was meant for

maybe
I was meant
for better things

... or maybe
I was meant
for nothing at all

fate
most cruel
took you from me

leaving behind a picture
that refuses to fade

we all need
a wind beneath our wings

... those of us especially
who cannot fly

Every tear you cry
fills an ocean
in which one day
I will drown.

For Baby

you only truly love somebody
when both sides of the coin
look exactly the same
