She's missing something,
Something she didn't notice,
But she feels its absence.

The absence of innocence in her mind,
Her mind which was purer than fresh spring water,
Her mind which was happier than a unicorn,
And now it's the saddest of them all.

Every corner of her mind,
There's nowhere she can escape,
Every corner filled with more emotion,
Yet she's missing her emotion,
She's missing her emotion.

Desolation,
Isolation,
Despair,
Despair in every corner,
Filling every inch,
If she can't feel safe in her mind,
Where can she feel safe?
Despair filling her like a lead balloon.

She was whiter than a dove,
Purer than a lily,
But that lily has wilted,
She's the blackest raven now.

Traces of happiness here and there,
But everywhere she turns, there's more despair,
Will she ever escape this despair?
