Firefly radience, gently glowing soul
Ember saddened beauty
Shrinking from the hole
"Alice, oh Alice" I call
Tempting her in
The white rabbit of creation
In a wonderland of sin.

Welcome to my nightmare
Welcome to my dreams
Welcome to all I was
And all I'll ever be

Slipping, sliding all the way
Yelling, screaming, gasping my name
You hit bottom gently, still searching I see
Lay your head on my pillow.
Lay your cares aside
Lay your hopes six feet under
Another virgin dies.

Welcome to your nightmare
Welcome to your dreams
Welcome to all you were
And all you'll never be.

Innocence was stolen
You'll never be the same
You say it isn't your fault
But whom else is there to blame??
