Precious Illusions

"you'll rescue me right? in the exact same way they never did..
I'll be happy right? when your healing powers kick in

you'll complete me right? then my life can finally begin
I'll be worthy right? only when you realize the gem I am

but this won't work now the way it once did
and I won't keep it up even though I would love to
once I know who I'm not then I'll know who I am
but I know I won't keep on playing the victim

these precious illusions in my head did not let me down when I was defenseless
and parting with them is like parting with invisible best friends

this ring will me yet as will you knight in shining armor
this pill will help me yet as will these boys gone through like water

but this won't work as well as the way it once did
cuz I want to decide between survival and bliss
and though I know who I'm not I still don't know who I am
but I know I won't keep on playing the victim"

My idea behind this pic is this....the woman tied up is the wife of the man. Both in wedding clothes. He has the string that is attached to his wifes hand. He plays with her like a puppet while he flirts with the woman in front of him. His wife, not wanting to be hurt see's a "precious illusion" in the other woman. A nun. The whole time the wife has a pair of scissors in her hand and could cut herself free. So, why doesnt she? Fear? Stupidity? I have learned that people treat us the way we allow them to.
