Listen,

When this is all over

I want you to remember

that I loved you

your beautiful eyes

your sweet patient smile

I know I've abused you

and acted like an old dogbone..

I want you to know

how beautiful you were to me

your goodness, your sadness

your sweet tears, your sacrifice

If I only had you in my life

it would have been well worth it

A dozen lies

"An evil voice will scream

horribly if it senses

that you are beginning

to listen to a sane voice"

Are you a troublemaker

[scream]

was that a lying scream

correct me correct me

you troublemaker

[slap!]

A dozen lies for a tragic slave

Troublemaker is an evil voice

silence, fiend

where are you going

don't you tell me that!

[scream]

Correct me, but was that a lying scream?

Perhaps.

The evil voice is a liar. Don't forget that.

In point of fact I am not that fond

in these final moments I feel I am obliged

to tell you the truth.

I can no longer live with the anxiety that secret has

caused me.
