lyrics

lost
a lot like i
the price thats paid
for being a kid in our time
how long has it been
at least since ought five
to tell you the truth
from what ive heard its amazing
that were both still alive

but why do you listen to her
never did nothing but hurt her little girl
for nigh on 20 years
what makes you think
she wouldnt do the same to you
if you were hers

thats right
i hope that doesn't surprise you
just that you would probably
remember me would just as much surprise me
ive been a girl now
for some time
if that drives you away thats okay
i dont really expect anyone to be kind
the places you look
for your answers
just so you know
are the same places where
the questions all began to grow

she wears a smile where her heart should hang
bears a pair of glass crosses shaved into a pair of fangs
holding a spirit made of ashes in her eyes
seeping from the holy acid in her blood
