anymore if the worst of the worst should
occur

instrumentation while diamond tiara
always acted with a high and mighty
attitude it turns out she only behaves
this way because that’s how she was
raised and she doesn’t know how to
better herself her heart broken singing
peels back her bully layers to reveal a
child unsure of how to change her ways
