There's a darker side to town
When the lights come up
When the sun rises
That is when the sin is most obvious
All the gamblers
With whiskey on their breath
Come stumbling out around nine in the morning
And wander into their homes
Sleeping the day away
Kissing their wives goodbye
For another go round of chasing the devil
Their wives dance about
In their sluttish suburban ways
Knowing **** well where their men are
And taking advantage
Every second
Of the loneliness they feel
Dragging in any man who walks their way
They don't mind the age
Especially when drunk and *****
And those girls who hate *** now
The *****
And the ***
And the money
The drugs
The temptation
Everything about the night life
Is appealing
Except when shown in daylight
No person is immune to the consequences
When the addiction calls
And a stripper,
So in pain,
Cries out to the sky
Pleading to be forgiven

He doesn't truly love anyone
He is hurting and he is broken
But you cannot fix him
He is the only one who can save
The life he has destroyed
We cannot give him what he needs
He won't ever love us like we love him
So darling, please don't lose heart
Don't lose your mind
Keep yourself safe while you can
Because he collects girls like us
By the dozen
And he isn't worth the waste of our
Thoughts
But you've already swung your legs
'Round his waist
So it's far too late
I just hope you don't lose you

You break hearts left and right
And you don't care too terribly much
Yet I come back and smile at you
And hope that maybe you'll break mine
Years of scars stain my heart vividly
And I still want to be noticed by you hopelessly
You break hearts left and right
And I just want to heal yours

You are a priceless soul
Trapped in a cheap body
And forced to conform to what society
Has deemed you as
You are a beautiful heart
Locked away behind bars
Until you can break free
But I am not the judge who sentenced
You to this purgatory
So I cannot tell anyone how long
It is until you are out of jail
I doubt that I have ever met you
But I can tell
I'm sorry I don't believe in the
Façade you have so wrongly been
Pressured into

Sincerely,
The Girl Who Has Strong Faith in You, Perhaps Too Much

I am drowning in the humdrum of everyday life
Wishing I could be sitting with you on the edge of Italy
Looking out at the Adriatic Sea
But alas, I am here, paying for the life you left behind
And you are there soaking in rays and drinking red wine
I wish you hadn't left me for there
The least you could have done was paid for the airfare
I think that these bills distract me from the real problem at hand
If I really loved you, wouldn't I have left this land
This land of mundane life and of great exhaust
For something more extraordinary, something less taut
But then I remember that we weren't meant to be at all
Simply because we couldn't any longer stall
Now I remember why I said no to becoming your wife

You woo no one
With your lies
Except for everyone
Who wants to believe
Silly girls like me
But your lies become venom in my mind
And I take a step back
To spit up the poison
Then I realize that
A boy who lies is a boy who hides
I just want to help you
Find your soul again
That was buried deep when
You were unnecessarily glorified
For using you God given charm
It shouldn't have corrupted you so much
But I know that underneath
Your gilded exterior
And hard coal middle
There is a beautiful diamond soul
And a very prominent v
