You awaken in the cardboard box That you refer to as your home The dawn is barely breaking And already you feel alone
A *****’s bath in a public restroom Then you’re ready to start your day Layers of stage makeup hide the wounds Of the lead in this lack of morality play
First up is the sadistic businessman He knows the drugs you need But it comes with one condition That he gets to see you bleed
With his one hand around your throat And the other grabbing your breast He takes whatever looks good And leaves you with the rest
You straighten out your dress And try to wipe yourself clean You’re helped back to your feet By a schoolboy of age seventeen
He's skipped his classes for the day And borrowed his mother's van Now he’ll gladly pay your fee If you'll make him into a man
It’s all over before it begins A symptom he can't control You can barely feel it anyway Numb in both body and soul
At night you meet your **** And give the devil his due You willingly submit to him As he runs you through
You retreat to the cardboard box That you refer to as your home The moon is heavy in the sky And you can finally be alone
Your lips wrap around the pipe The smoke molests your lungs And slowly you begin to forget The world that you came from
You once dreamt of a white knight That would come and take you away Now seen as only vestiges Of a young girl’s naiveté
Dignity is a memory An illusion from your past Like pleasure or happiness A feeling you could never grasp
You once thought you’d hit rock bottom But there was so much further left to fall You were filled with unknown fears But now you’ve named them all
Add up the rocks they pay As you break their last taboo And the secrets that they share When they’re deep inside of you
A normal person would go insane But your body is no longer yours Are you less than human now? One of a thousand nameless ******
You wonder if they see a woman Or just another object on her knees You could show them who you really are But that’s not what they pay you to be
