## Dedication

*For my friends in school, thank you for supporting me the whole way.*

## I. Illusion

 File:ALCOS6.png
*Every day, I feel so empty and hurt,*

*Flung every time upon the dirt.*

*But you don't care, do you?*

*I just see you shrug and say that,*

*You don't know nothing that took place,*

*You don't know that you ever loved.*

*And, discarded, forgotten, and beaten,*

*I want to run and just say goodbye.*

*But it's no use, I keep running back you,*

*Even after swearing never to look behind.*

*Crave for your arms, your warmth, your heart,*

*Could you truly, truly, truly understand?*

*Was this all an illusion, everything shadows,*

*A ripple in the water, a realistic hologram?*

*Was this all an illusion, am I hallucinating,*

*I once hoped not, but it seems that it's true.*

*Every time I see a picture of you,*

*It sends jolts through by body,*

*I remember begging for you to stay,*

*But you just tossed me away.*

*The tears are streaming down my cheeks,*

*My mind keeps drifting back to you.*

*I don't understand why you turned me down,*

*But I know that my heart is shattered now.*

*Was this all an illusion, everything shadows,*

*A ripple in the water, a realistic hologram?*

*Was this all an illusion, am I hallucinating,*

*I once hoped not, but it seems that it's true.*

*Was this all an illusion, everything fake,*

*A false slip of memory lost to time?*

*Was this all an illusion, I'm asking again,*

*It's just what it is, it's the truth.*

## II. Drifting through the Abyss

 File:ALCOS1.png
*Spiraling downwards, a bird with broken wings,*

*A falling feather, a dulled memory.*

*How could you leave me here, like this, so wretched?*

*Swallowed by the darkness and night.*

*Floating in endless space, heart colder than ice,*

*I'm waiting for you, ever so silent,*

*But you never reached out a hand to catch me,*

*And now I've given up all hope. Because,*

*I'm drowning in this ocean,*

*I'm losing all of my mind,*

*I'm crashing to the ground,*

*So helpless and frail.*

*I'm tossed in the storm,*

*I'm battered by the raindrops,*

*I'm dying, my breath so ragged.*

*I'm drifting through the abyss now.*

*It's so dark and scary,*

*Pain's racking me from everywhere,*

*And I just need someone to say,*

*That they still care for me.*

*The abyss will drag me down,*

*I'm helpless to fight,*

*Submit to the hate and the love,*

*But I'm still suffocating. Because,*

*I'm drowning in this ocean,*

*I'm losing all of my mind,*

*I'm crashing to the ground,*

*So helpless and frail.*

*I'm tossed in the storm,*

*I'm battered by the raindrops,*

*I'm dying, my breath so ragged.*

*I'm drifting through the abyss now.*

*Through the abyss that was your love.*

*I'm drifting through the abyss now.*

*I'm drifting through the abyss.*

## III. Tightrope

 File:ALCOS2.png
*I'm balanced on a tightrope,*

*An abyss on either side.*

*One false step would send me*

*plunging to my death.*

*What's that in the distance?*

*A light in the darkness?*

*Another living soul,*

*Making your way towards me.*

*Remember taking my hand,*

*Remember guiding me out?*

*Still we slipped, it's not your fault*

*I'm the one who messed it up.*

*It suddenly snapped,*

*Dumping us down.*

*I'm screaming in eternal hurt,*

*It could hold us no more.*

*Till now, I don't understand,*

*Why it crashed to the ground.*

*But it's reality, what could I do,*

*But accept and move on?*

*Through the pain and haze,*

*I see another cliff before me.*

*Another tightrope, to the other side.*

*Connects to a doorway to the light.*

*Will the same fate await me here?*

*Would I trip once again?*

*So many questions,*

*Please answer them for me.*

*Could pain override the love,*

*Could you show me to the light?*

*I'm putting my faith in you again,*

*To take my hand and take me out of here.*

## IV. Poisoned Honey

 File:ALCOS7.png
*So sweet when I first met you,*

*A beautiful dream come true.*

*I couldn't help myself and fell for you,*

*Like a pin towards a magnet.*

*You took me everywhere,*

*Showed me everything.*

*You swore to love me, and me alone,*

*And in the end, I chose to believe.*

*Sweet as nectar you were,*

*When you produced those roses.*

*I trusted you to aid and save me,*

*But in the end, you're just poisoned honey.*

*I begged you to stay,*

*Asked you to remember all the nights,*

*But you just shrugged and left,*

*I've drunk your poisoned honey.*

*Choking on your mixture,*

*Clawing at my hair and my eyes,*

*Trying to comfort myself, no avail,*

*Drugged on your sugary venom.*

*Sweet as nectar you were,*

*When you produced those roses.*

*I trusted you to aid and save me,*

*But in the end, you're just poisoned honey.*

*I begged you to stay,*

*Asked you to remember all the nights,*

*But you just shrugged and left,*

*I've drunk your poisoned honey.*

## V. Destiny

 File:ALCOS3.png  *Don't say that you don't belong,*

*We both know our fate.*

*It's written in the stars,*

*I don't understand why you don't accept, cause,*

*You're my destiny and I'm yours,*

*Fit together like rhyme and reason.*

*It's apparent to anyone, just ask,*

*Why do you keep running from me?*

*I've tried so hard to keep this alive,*

*But to you it's all ash and dust.*

*So many times I've prayed to the skies,*

*And I am certainly sure that,*

*You're my destiny and I'm yours,*

*Fit together like rhyme and reason.*

*It's apparent to anyone, just ask,*

*Why do you keep running from me?*

*You're my destiny and I'm yours,*

*Fit together like rhyme and reason.*

*Together anything is possible,*

*Wish that we'll never be apart.*

*You're my destiny.*

## VI. Towards the Light

 File:ALCOS4.png  *They say it's impossible,*

*That we could never be together,*

*But don't listen to them,*

*Don't get swallowed by the darkness.*

*Walk towards the light,*

*A lantern in the night,*

*Guiding our souls out of the gloom.*

*Take my hand, right now,*

*Before everything crumbles in front of us,*

*Let's escape to euphoria,*

*Towards the light.*

*A new world is waiting for us,*

*The end of the road leads to a new dream.*

*Could you walk with me, side by side.*

*Until we reach the golden realm?*

*Walk towards the light,*

*A lantern in the night,*

*Guiding our souls out of the gloom.*

*Take my hand, right now,*

*Before everything crumbles in front of us,*

*Let's escape to euphoria,*

*Battered and bruised, I await for you,*

*Would you ever run to me?*

*Hope is like a feeble flame,*

*Gutters out from a gust of wind.*

*Walk towards the light,*

*A lantern in the night,*

*Guiding our souls out of the gloom.*

*Take my hand, right now,*

*Before everything crumbles in front of us,*

*Let's escape to euphoria,*

*Towards the light.*

*Towards the light.*

*Towards the light.*

## VII. Abandoned

 File:ALCOS5.png  *Tossed away like a rag doll,*

*Worthless and useless, you called me.*

*My clothes are tattered,*

*And my heart is shattered,*

*The world is ice and snow to me.*

*Shooed away like a fly,*

*Annoying and boring, you called me.*

*I'm clawing at my face,*

*Until my nails are bloody.*

*I refuse to accept the truth and reality.*

*Why did you abandon me?*

*What step did I take wrong?*

*I'm crying to you to take me home.*

*I'm still abandoned now,*

*My heart is as empty as the skies,*

*Broken in a thousand pieces.*

*Bruised and wounded,*

*I drag myself through the dark.*

*The shadows are dancing,*

*The sun and stars are dying,*

*And the embers are flickering out.*

*You cut me to shreds,*

*On a golden knife.*

*The world is spinning,*

*My heart is aching,*

*And I just need you here by my side.*

*Why did you abandon me?*

*What step did I take wrong?*

*I'm crying to you to take me home.*

*I'm still abandoned now,*

*My heart is as empty as the skies,*

*Broken in a thousand pieces.*

*Why did you abandon me?*

*What step did I take wrong?*

*I'm crying to you to take me home.*

*I'm still abandoned now,*

*My heart is as empty as the skies,*

*Broken in a thousand pieces.*

*Why did you abandon me?*

*Why did you abandon me?*
