The Latest Attraction

Shes still strung out across the bathroom floor
Bleeding through her senses
She's clogging everything with loves
In the shape of little capsules called adoration
Swallow them through their tube of lies
molded oh so carefully
Because they love to do things just to perfection
Strike a pose for humiliation
In time to words written out in blood and pride
Hang on to everything dear
They've got her pulled up by those extensions
They have her by the lace around throat
She's falling out of broken windows
With her favorite regrets all tied up in bows
Pulled together with a smile
Barely hanging on she waits
She's barely even breathing
She's dancing through the end of repentance
Forgive her father, for she knows not what to do
Little lacerations marking her existence
with every drop of truth
She's slipping from their eyes
Now hum along while they eulogize apologies
Because darling "I'm sorry" has never been so vogue
She's holding her breath to see just how black her eyes can go
Popping happiness into corners of her mind
What color is you beauty today baby girl
How does that barrel feel pressed up against you
Her skin so ruby red, it glows like jewelry
Covering the scars she made
So dance tonight away
So she dances and forgets everything
They have her wrapped around their trigger
They got her choking on their gun
Bring back everything they taught you
Pull the measuring tape just a little tighter around
How does perfection taste my sweet, sweet girl
Rum, coke and his heroin running through her veins
They've got their letters strung out across her wrist
And she's got her smile plastered so sweet around her face
