My ego drives all that I do. I never really feel for you. Hate and greed destroy my thoughts, 'til any trace of good is lost. I'll never break this cycle's spell. I can't escape delusions hell. I'm everything that I abhor. Nothing that I do is pure.
PIERCE
Devoid of empathy, how could I continue to be? I wish, just once, I could forget myself. I am nothing but fucking ego. Where is the heart I lost long ago? How could I push thoughts of you below? I will never reach nirvana. I'll never be at peace, and honestly, who is there to blame besides me?
LIAM
I am so cold, heartless, lifeless. I'm so fucked up, selfish, stuck up. I wish just once I could forget myself...open my eyes and see past these delusions. Escape from this cycle of endless suffering. But I could never crawl out of this hole that I've dug. I'll never see. I'll never fucking see. I'm so fucking stupid. I only think of me. I'll never reach nirvana. I'll never fucking see.
