In the sewer seeking shelter
In the dark and stinking abyss
I hate these awful sweaty summers
But I keep on heading southward through these tunnels of piss
And I know

Thank you for letting me exist as such a broken, ruined girl
Thank you for making me so sick
And never owning up to what you've done
Thank you for all the evil dreams
Thank you for killing everyone
[Devi & Rook]
Thank you (Laughter)
