College

Scraped knees and burnt lungs

Hair pulling and touching tongues

Study hard, fail a class

Makeup on, the perfect mask

Scales and *** you have no power

One night stand, take a shower

Class at eight, get up at nine

Lie to your parents, "I'm doing fine"

Black lace bra, **** dress

Frat house party, look your best

Pills and smokes, just one more

Boy comes over, shut the door

Greedy hands and spoken words

Words he says he never heard

Sink running, your eyes are too

Look in the mirror, someone new

Black circles, white washed skin

"How the hell did I get so thin"

Another pill, another chapter

The college life everyone's after
