Words & Music: Cavestany    Affectation was an early sign  Of a twisted mind  All virtues had faded away  Apprehension made her cold  But warm she was inside  The child within her died  And left her with a heart of stone    Surface anger was a thin disguise  Yet at night she cries  Behold the pain in her eyes  Degradation was a grind  Her true self left behind  Compassion you will find  Hidden by a veil of deception    And so the story goes  That's the way she chose to live her life  And anybody knows  The way it feels when you hurt inside  She's running from herself  The game of life in which she played    Looking back upon the early years  There was room for tears  But she chose to push them away  Condemnation was a vice  She chose to roll the dice  And so she paid the price  Misery was her only friend    Inner feelings were a neutral zone  Though she tried to condone  In a world she faced so alone  Her salvation came too late  And on that day she died  No one even cried  Forgot about the veil of deception    And so the story goes  That's the way she chose to live her life  And anybody knows  The way it feels when your hurt inside  She's running from herself  The game of life in which she played
