I've decided, as long as I'm going to hell

I might well do it thoroughly

I remember somone asked me

"did anyone tell you as a child

how cruel the world can be?"

And I didn't know how to answer


because technically, no

Nobody ever told me.

but i dont think I needed to be told

for me to know

I had the gift

of experiencing it first hand


When you find someone like me

I suppose you're supposed to

make a cross with your fingers

throw holy water

and run away screaming

That sort of thing... you know?


But you don't know the cards I've been dealt

So i've decided,

if I'm damned to go to hell

I might as well do it thoroughly.
