You've got a confession to make
because you broke a few rules this time
shot your lies don't break hearts
and without a hole in your head
being a martyr is just a tragic obsession
you watch with sick fascination, eager anticipation
as the cancer grows
amputated limbs and sunken eyes
that's the price you pay
to gaze into the crystal mist
and try to convince yourself that you're unforgettable
(but you're just the mysterious skeleton girl lurking in the shadows
horrifically distorted with a rope coiled around your throat
bleeding black and blue)
you've seen both heaven and hell
reflected in burning sunsets and shooting stars
but you don't know where you'd rather be
you're just stuck here with a flat tire and a smoking engine
and you've got no destination
(it gets a little complicated
when you find beauty in the breakdown)
