lyrics

we were all once a little girl
cut from a cloth that I've never forgot but now the
pretty sutures are all gone
you were once a thought before you were born
and shot the hopes and dreams of your creators down
in flames
i feel like no matter how loved
you will ever be
told you are
all we will ever be
the embodiment of their plans
gone sour

when the sash is bound & i see that face
blue and below me
just where i had been all my life
frozen in the shadow of his fear
a bad dream

you'd better believe i'll one day pop his fucking head off
clean as a whistle
calling home

can't help but wonder why
singing out the things that in conversation
would make me cry
seem less dire
has this outlet that i've chosen
backfired?
why bother with reality
when a tune is always waiting
to drown in
like a stiff drink
cold comfort





just once I wish I wasn't the one derailing
just once I wish I was the penny on the track
just once I wish I wasn't a boy of failings
just once I wish I could give everybody everything

You get Radio Wire Empire." - Tramps Upstairs
