Blue Eyeliner

There’s no use living in the past
Unless it finds you
And even if it does there’s nothing you can do

She’s been having a hard year I guess
That’s the reason why she left the mid-west
And all the ghosts she brings can’t hide the shame

Blue eyeliner running down her face
The music she plays the only saving grace
Turn it up loud, here comes another sob
Mom can’t hear because she’s at her job
And nothing in the world is making sense
She won’t come back again

Others can’t see the truth she hides
Because she’s getting so good at keeping it inside
She finds out about the world through her computer screen

And she’s fifteen and already been through
A hell of a lot more than she would like to
Admit between the walls of her confusion

Blue eyeliner running down her face
Knowing she has friends the only saving grace
Scream it out load, here comes another sob
Mom still can’t hear because she’s at her job
Still nothing in the world is making sense
At least he won’t come back again
