Mom?

Charlotte!

I was surrounded by

negativity for so long,

I became blind to what I had.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

I'm making magic!

But after seeing you, I knew

what I was doing was right.

Come on, Mary.

Talk to me.

Talk to me!

I don't know what you want.

You know what I want.

I want you to tell me the truth

for once in your f***ing life.

I want you to understand

that your appearance is corruption.

By showing it to you,

showing you what not to be.

It really is all about you now.

Not them.

You're so beautiful.

F*** you!

F*** you!

You want some of that?

I know you do.

You were right.

No, no, no, no.

Please, no!

You should think

about your daughter.

Right?

We're in another situation

where you're just

talking about yourself.

F*** Charlotte, OK?

Is that what you want?

You're right.

I hate her.

Is that what you wanted to hear?

Is that it?

Because now you've got it, OK?

Can I please leave?

She ruined my life.

I was going to have a career.

Not her.

Me!

So you're saying

that your life is

more important than hers?

I-- I had something really

special and then she f***ing

came along and I

couldn't do anything.

I think I might believe you

because I'm almost gonna cry.

Because you're so f***ing--

They were just the

tools, the pieces I needed

in this greater creation.

This rebirth.

Your rebirth.

Charlotte!

The first time I saw you

I knew you were special.

You're the one.

She's gone!

She didn't love you!

I love you, Charlotte!

I gave you what you wanted.

You can be whoever

you want to be.

I created all this

for you, Charlotte.

It's always been about you.

You're free!

You're free.

You can do whatever you want.

You can be whoever--

No!

No!

I want you to like it!

I want you to like it!

I want you to like it!

No!

I would recommend

at this point walk away.

You've had your share of

lies and hurt and venom

that I've saved in

my cold blue veins.

Bumping with fear and pain.

I'm not sure exactly how

it's easy trusting you.

Hung out and manipulated,

I've called myself

a fool again and again.

One damn foolish man.

The tragedy has ended.

The angel has ascended

from the pedestal I put her on.

When you awake, I will be gone.

Charlotte, Charlotte, It's true.

My love, this is just for you.

Charlotte, Charlotte, it's true.

You are now free to pursue.

The years the clock

has spun, I've

questioned long and hard

motives that may be driving me

and will they leave you

scarred as I start to see?

Pieces of you and me.

So step up to the plate.

Let's see what you can take.

I built these walls

around my heart

to block out all the pain,

but you broke right through.

There's something good in you.

The broken is now mended.

And I never intended for you

to fall face first into my arms.

I promise I will help.

I will do no harm.

You've showed me that your pure heart

can offer us a new start.

Yeah, I'm living

and letting it grow.

And I just wanted

for you to know

in my own weird way I love you.

My damaged soul feels

rescued from a sea of lies

and of regrets.

So let's turn the page

and see what happens next.

The tragedy has ended.

Oh Charlotte.

The angel has ascended.

Hey, yo.

Hey, yo.

I think we all get a

little crazy sometimes.

I think we all get

a little David Long.

I'm David Long He's David Long.

She's David Long.

We're all David Long.

I'm David Long.

He's David Long.

She's David Long.

We're all David Long.

David Long.

Keep the guns.

Give me the knives

and the gasoline.

A car battery, box

cutter, and a casket.

Like Michael Myers and

remake all of his action

scenes, and walk around

with a lumberjack

axe and my baggy jeans.

You aint' half as mean.

You as Queen.

What?

You ain't get the memo

through your fax machine

that I was coming to phase

you out like a track machine?

I'm trapped in dreams.

When we slash, they bleed.

Look them in the eye and ask

them do they have to scream?

I'm a savage wreaking havoc

in the blackest deeds.

But if you haven't, you can

splatter like a flower screen.

Like the ring boy coming

through your plasma screen.

Don't make me drown you in your

tub until your ass is clean.

I'm so watch

what you asking me.

I bet it's hard to talk sh*t

when you're lacking teeth.

Take your leave.

No pressure, all

stress relieved.

See, basically, there's a

David Long in all of us.

And locked inside, there's a

David Long that follows us.

Wherever we go,

he's going there to follow us.

Release the crazy things

that we keep bottled up

with David Long.

I'm David Long.

He's David Long.

She's David Long.

We're all David Long.

I'm David Long.

He's David Long.

She's David Long.

We're all David Long.

David Long.

Give me five or pump

three for my chainsaw.

It's called a chainsaw,

but I call it my pain saw.

I have you leaking different

colors like crayons.

Do the job and leave,

like I just got laid off.

You think you got me figured

out, but you're way off.

You can't control me like a

game when it's turned off.

You go soft.

I go.

Catch them with a bullet and

hit them in the.

Me cleaver, chop your

fat off like a cigar.

These are stars I

throw like ninja.

You can run all you want, but

I promise you won't get far.

You're a p*ssy

like a your sister.

I'll hit you til you see stars.

And now you can barely stand,

but I'm the f***ing retard?

You're probably gonna need arms,

but your hands are tied up.

And I'm gonna dump you where

them garbage cans line up

and leave you there.

They smell you

before they ride up.

David Long.

Basically, there's a

David Long in all of us.

And locked inside, there's a

David Long that follows us.

Wherever we go,

he's going there to follow us.

Release the crazy things

that we keep bottled up

with David Long.

I'm David Long.

He's David Long.

She's David Long.

We're all David Long.

I'm David Long.

He's David Long.

She's David Long.

We're all David Long.

David Long.
