EmI was Dborn in a tChunderstorm,

Hey,Em I wantedD everything I Cnever had,
Emlike the Dlove that cComes with life
EmI woreD Ambien andC I hated it,
but I survBived.

I had Emwanted to go to a pDlace where alCl the demons go,

where the wEmind don't change and Dnothing in the ground Ccan ever grow,
No hEmope, just lies and you're Dtaught to cry Cin your pillow,
but I'll survBive.
