"You probably thought I wouldn't make it this far, you thought I'd end up in the back of a car. You probably thought that I'd never escape, I'd be a rat in a cage, I'd be a slave to this place. But you don't know how hard I fought to survive, waking up all alone when I was left to die. You don't know about this life I've led, all these roads I've walked, all these tears I've bled.

I'm the one that you need and fear, now that you're hooked it's all becoming clear that all your judgment that you placed on me was a reflection of discovery. So maybe next time when you cast your stones out of the shadows of the dark unknown, you will crawl up from your hiding place and take a look in the mirror, see the truth in your face!

I am the dirt you created. I am your sinner, I am your whore. But let me tell you something, baby. You love me for everything you hate me for."

I will no longer live in fear. I will no longer cower for fear of people judging me. I'm Envy. That other me is dead and gone.
