Shes pushing herself
from the building panic and pain
She's been held captive[broken]
and held still from her outside world.
It's spinning on its axis
giving her day and night
but things seem black for her
she cant' see beyond the boarded windows
[this is her last good night]
She'll open up those scars again
the ones she created with this blade;
the one that's shining now
between her glittering fingertips
and reflecting her own distorted
image back to her.
She has no Tinkerbell
hanging at her chest
bringing her the luck
she never really deserved.
She flew away from this world
and now she's walking on
railroad tracks in a pretty little dress
trying to follow its direction home
[wherever that is today]
Shes judging her time limit
as the blood seeps to the ground
creating a pool at her feet.
She's knocking another shot back
[destroying her stress free control]
but it's breaking her uptight barriers
so maybe she'll be free again
she doesn't understand all shes had
[like the pain that made it real]
She's a sparking mess of tears
water and electricity
never made much sense together.
Shes kissing her own tears away
as she weeps silently in the corner
but theres no one to set her
grammar straight
or put her soaking eyes to rest
Maybe she just won't sleep tonight
[more pain will do more bad than good]
Theres no more make up
to run off in creased tracks
down her tired-eyed face
and no more straight lies
like railroad tracks and mailbox posts
to bring her home to him.
Just another ripped dress
to join the boxes of her heart
[just like the pain that made it real]
