bless, ohh
and if it's an illusion, i don't want to wake up
i'm gonna hang on to it
because the alternative is an abyss, is just a hole, a darkness, a nothingness
who wants that? you know? so that's what i think about control
and that's my story, and i'm stickin' to it
that was beautiful mommy, that was perfect
keep playing.
love, emma
