RE: Atmosphere

Drips to the brain and a shock on your lips/

With a paper-thin smile as she slowly moves her hips/

Eyes glazed over she just wants to find a way out/

But she hits and then she trips until she's on the ground passed out.

You mean to tell me you're an angel?

**** lies.

Because you're stuck inside your own mind lookin' for a compromise.

Earthquake, shook up, waitin' for the sun to rise/

Aftershock, thrown up, do it all again tonight.

She's a little diva, with a tattoo when her sleave's up/

Keep it from the parents they don't know just what the street's done.

Darling likes 'em daring better hope she doesn't catch one/

Paralyzing stare and she'll forget you after all the fun.

But it's a sickness, her fever seems so cyclic.

She hustles-loves-and moves-on shouting independence.

'She's not the one to blame' they say, 'she's a product of her environment'

no way.

She's a self-sustained dope-headed crack-craving cock-train.

Begging for her high she can lie to fill the pocket,

A siren slowly swinging with her skin a little off-tint.

But what if lies were only lies because of what ourselves define,

and maybe lines scribbled over lines are just the best way I can hide.
