lyrics

she was a single cell for half an hour but she's felt like one for years. she's loaded her tank and started her enging but can't seem to get it in gear. at night she prays to her god and praises his love but falls asleep alone. she's thrown her thoughts away and posted them upon a bulletin, because nobody listens and it feels more like company. but rest assured, she'll get to know mercy. but the mirror knows her shame. it feels like sitting still as blaring bells are rung beside her ears. if she could merely mute them.

her dreams were too big for her comical stature and carelessness catches whoever it's after, it's hungry. emotions pour out as her tear ducts weep, the ring that she bears, a broken promise to keep. yeah it's so disgraceful. she's a self righteous sinner, an actress regressed, she's fooled her audience by hiding the tears in her dress. But somwhere in the noise, she missed a stage cue. now she feels she looks like a fool, all by herself in a crowded room.

she used to sing fa la la...

At night she prays to her god, repents in a cry, "my whole damn life is a lie! but the truth must be somewhere, help me find me." she sinks to the sheets with a pill at her lips a razor blade in her grasp, just asking how she got there. her life was too much for the child inside. she met more resistance the harder she tried. she feels too defeated and too weak to fight. the walls are closing in, and every night she prays to her god and begs for his hand to pull her to his side. but the line seems occupied.
