Candice – Ashes of Eden
When you first met me you thought I was a boy
And this is how I wanted you to see me
A permanent resident on the corner of fear and loathing
An echo of the person I used to be
19 years old, alone and afraid
I succumb to the call of the Night Lark
Her melody a symphony within my veins
The person in the mirror a stark
Reminder of fading memories
Their faces all fading into black
Mother, Father, Heroine and Hunger
The craving a reminder of the fact
That I’m this girl from there now living nowhere
Spat on and spurned like a heathen
Look into my eyes and see the dim glow
Of the embers in the ashes of Eden
