I'm alone on the corner, but that's alright,I've got my newspaper for company,But it's all filled with funerary rights,Causing me to fall i..</description>

Four?I've changed from that overbearing, awkward boy,And you've stayed the same; that mysterious mystery girl, quiet, shut-in,Now I think it's an act.... You aren't quiet, are you? How can you go out on the weekends and be quiet? Or a recluse?But I s..</description>

To you, the dark is something to destroy,Something evil,Cruel,Vile, Something to be feared. It blots out your sight,Clouds your mind,Makes your heart race,You lose yourself in the shade, litt..</description>
