PROLOGUE

Darling, darling, doesn't have a problem

Lying to herself 'cause her liquor's top shelf

It's alarming honestly how charming she can be

Fooling everyone, telling them she's having fun

She says you don't want to be like me

Don't wanna see all the things I've seen

I'm dying, I'm dying

She says you don't want to get this way

Famous and dumb at an early age

Lying, I'm lying

The boys, the girls, they all like Carmen

She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes

She laughs like god, her mind's like a diamond

Audio tune lies, she's still shining

Like lightning, oh, like lightning


This is an excerpt from Lana del Rey's song, "Carmen" which was probably one of my biggest inspirations when thinking of this story and its main character. It's a fantastic song, so I really suggest listening to it!
