I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to showAnd the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Grey clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above

You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
She has no father, her mother is miles away, and she has no real friends. Now that everyone knows of her secret, most consider her white trash, not up to par spend time in their company. So now she more alone than ever. She use to surround herself with the planing of events around school and would spend time with people who she thoughts were friends, until they all turned on her.
Now she spends her time in classes and cooped up in her dorm room, plastering a false smile on her face when she has to go out in public, acting as if nothing is wrong at all.
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
In your pose as the dust settled around us
And the walls kept tumbling down
That day was like any other, Jon was taking his precious daughter to school while on his way to work. The sun was a little too bright, but it didn't bother him much, he just kept a smile on his face as he told the tale of a princess who was being held captive by a monster, who was really a prince. Right at the climax, when the beast was to be killed by angry villagers and when the princess realized she loved the beast, there was the sound of metal screeching against as a pick up truck, driven by someone under the influence of alcohol, crashed into Jon's small economy car, after failing to stop at a stop sign.
It was a miracle that anyone in the little Subaru survived...
Jon lost his life instantly while Ciera was trapped in her car seat, forced to stare at her dead father who was slouched forward in his seat, head bleeding against the steering wheel.
In the city that we love

She tries to make others happy and live a life that her father would approve of. Until that blog post made by the Siren, it seemed as if just that was happening, but now, it seemed impossible that she could be happy again. Even though high school is just a road bump in life, it still sucks, especially now.
Ciera the only thing that she wants now is to go back home, but that's impossible. She can't tell her mother what was happening, she didn't want her to be happy, she wants her mother to think that everything is peachy keen back here in Tidewater, even though it's anything but good.
But if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
Ciera isn't the typical Tidewater prep, she's a scholarship students, only being able to go to the school due to her good grades. She isn't superficial, she isn't fake. She's a genuinely kind hearted person. She gives everyone a chance until they lose her trust, but since she isn't rich like the people she once spent her time with, she's now alone, considered White Trash by those who had claimed to be her friends.
