It's a really different EP and everybody who felt Pain and Heartbreak knows what i'm singing about."

It's funny, but It does hurt sometimes. Do I need to be like everyone else in this World to get accepted? I'm probably not a role model or anything an Human being can look up to but I think that I'm real. I'm not faking myself, this is just WHO I AM. And the Name FANTASY is just perfect for my personality. I'm living different and this world where I am living is my own fantasy world.
