I knew you'd
Do exactly as you did

I drift on holographic clouds
Painted pouts and little big surrender
Warriors with their arrows out
All alongside me.

I reframe and frame up
Missing my teeth when I lipstick my mouth

Your eyes were so large
Full of remorse and the entitement
The lack of capacity to understand
That I swam in your pond for so long
Until it started to taste poisonous
So I found the shore
Grew a pair of long lean legs
And march into the city lights.

If I could have it my way
My hurricane portrays I wish it didn't have to sting this way
It's all so cinematic, so charged
Alcohol sometimes gets the best of me
And my secret audience
That watches my turmoil.

I adjust my crown
And move forward
A moment in time to remember and hold onto
Self respect, freedom, joy
I try to find a sense of humor
My nails the longest I've ever had them done
It's just hollywood baby
It's just a bit of hollywood.

In my dreams you look full of that same surrender
But that's not you
No that's never been you.

Lessons learned, hearts dropped
I chalk it up
Like I've always done
And twirl within my own flames.
