All Because of Me
First, my mom was engulfed by my fate
I was eight
Flames licked her away
Making her astray
All because of me.
The guilt has weighed me down for years
Through the steady stream of tears
I lift my head and say "OK"
Nothing gold can stay
All because of me.
Next came the girl
I was hypnotized by her hair's curl
The sticky, salty sweetness of her eyes
But, the way she cries...
All because of me.
I landed on that island
Not expecting the end
The raft arrived and left, but my love stayed
It could not be tamed
All because of me.
Now as I reflect on the past
Looking over the evil spells that I cast
I realize
My mom will come
With the girl's retrieval, it will be the sum
All because of me.
