Lyrics

[00:00.00] She's never alone,
[00:02.74] because she's scared of what she might say to herself
[00:07.71] Always drinking in the backroom of the bar
[00:11.85] where everyone turns in
[00:16.99] A half-hearted grin
[00:19.58] She won't be afraid
[00:22.10] as long as that prescription keeps going through
[00:26.90] And all the happy pills make her look like cardboard cut out of someone,
[00:36.26] I use to learn from
[00:38.80] But on the phone, she's telling everyone,
[00:43.58] that there was a blue sky, she left behind
[00:48.49] And there's a place that no one knows about,
[00:53.14] Away from integrity
[00:55.52] she writes a book in her head that nobody will read
[01:00.19]
[01:07.29] Whatever you say,
[01:10.03] please don't talk about the time when she was young
[01:14.65] Apparently that was a different person and
[01:18.89] so long ago it's strange to me,
[01:23.92] there's no history
[01:26.49] But there's a past
[01:28.76] and she's telling everyone
[01:31.09] It must be a garden,
[01:33.46] that wouldn't grow
[01:35.91] With roots of shame,
[01:38.10] too sensitive to blame
[01:40.57] to herself as we watch he drown,
[01:42.91] I can't save the queen without a kingdom or a crown
[01:47.23]
[02:07.46] Somewhere in this lonely game of sympathy
[02:11.25] there is a selfish dream
[02:13.61] That makes me sick
[02:16.93] Standing on the high wire while you're on the ground
[02:20.81] To you what is dangerous is safe and sound...
[02:27.81] You let me down
[02:30.61]
[02:48.79] END
