~Help~
But she looks so perfect
Even when it's all gone wrong
No, her parents don't love her
And I watch her try to stay strong
I won't move along like they want me to
I'm too young but I'll stay true
There's dead bodies coming down from the ceiling
Clueless as to what I'm even feeling
I suspect they might be drug dealing
Her poetry entices me
Because it just isn't art
If it didn't come from the heart
Trapped in a bubble
Now the house is burning down
It's like I can see her screaming
But I can't hear a sound
Said she pretends to be gay
So she can get away
They'd rather believe that
Than the truth she'd like to say
Lies, why do you play?
In her eyes I see she knows it isn't okay
Oh, how'd it ever get this bad?
No one sees she's sad
Better not let them see
False freedom isn't easy
She can drive
But she'll always have to hide
Beauty is a curse and it's getting worse
She says she's not a criminal
Yet she's caged just like an animal
Baby, tell me what is it you've done?
On rare occasion she'll succeed
They'll unlock her cage and she'll be freed
She looks so perfect
As I watch it all go wrong
Yet she still insists I play along
Someday, Honey, you must speak
It's wrong for you to act so weak
They're throwing drinks around
Pills by the pound
Bottles on the ground
She can't stand the sound
I don't want her in this crazy mess
But she still says I better not confess
They're all counting down the days
When she can just go away
No one wants her anyway
Her Mom is saying we're angels
Her Grammie is oh so proud
When will your secrets hit the ground?
I can see her heart sinking down
As they're screaming all around
One is counting calories
The other's holding on hopelessly
If the attic falls down
And the closet opens up
Maybe then that'd be enough
