Close my eyes, I’m crying at the sound
Cold slick floors, I’m always falling down
Trying so hard to not feel any shame
To ignore the dirt upon my name
The date, the name, scratched out in black
So I don’t have to face a memory left intact
And they all stare at me with hatred
Blaming me for feelings all wasted
Well I think that’s fine, I’ll play the role you force upon me
I’ll be the target for all your cruelty until the day you leave
And you drink to your emptiness
Choking on the bitter dregs
The black lipstick people dance, helpless in a crowd
Hiding away from a whine and a roar, it’s all too loud
And if you think I’m tragic you might be right
But I’m trying not panic when I lose myself in the night
