Wasted

She's in between a rock and a hard place

Faces don't smile at her anymore

Old friends lock their doors

And neighbors shut their drapes

And that's all it takes to be in hell

She transformed from a lamb into a black sheep

People don't smile anymore

Digging deep at the core

Of a rotten apple seed

And that's all she needs to never tell

What's on her mind, what's in her eyes

Blinded and traumatized

But she has tough skin

When she's smoking the liquids and

The consonants beat her down

Like the promises of the sounds

That soothe her, then leave her hanging around

By herself

Cause if you can't share love than love is wasted

Put on the shelf

By a man who swore he loved her taste

So she takes the bottle and starts to pour

Cause nobody smiles anymore

She's in between the demons and the sea

She wants to bring out her inner number three

But if you can't share love than love is wasted
