Song Lyrics

State of pain like mercury
Hearing pink illusions
Gorgeous at 85, older at 23

I drink the water out of time
I said has anybody seen the whirlpool floating in my mind
I said has anybody seen
This is the low that I could find

I`m on solitary sand and
I`ve been stepped on by a man
But I`ve stood taller than I am
In parentheses

Beauty queens are very shy
More than lash than meets your eye
So she jumps then wants to fly
It¹s too late now I`m in denial

I`ll get medieval on boy-bands
I said is anybody listening
The way life makes the nice girls fast
I said is anybody listening
It isn`t just unlucky chance

And I`m on solitary sand
And I`ve had bullshit from a man
But found exactly who I am

I`ll never be the vision of a girl who can write poetry
I`ll never be the little black dress we¹ve seen on natalie b.
I`ll never be 5`10", I`m barely 5`3"
