My Heroin*e

With the sky turning orange

You load up your syringe

And shoot up, right into the heart

Lying back in surrender

That face, once so tender

Was doomed in this game right from the start

 

And you'll steal and you'll lie

And you'd **** to get by

And it ain't that much fun anymore

But you're in far too deep

'Caus this game plays for keeps

And you're fighting your own private war

 

What do I have to do to make you listen?

What do I have to do to make you learn?

What do I have to say to make you realise

That you're just taking your turn

And despite that special buzz

You're not special anymore

'Caus you're dying from the inside

Like so many before

And it still goes on....

 

When you think Life's a downer

Take an upper to counter

Till you don't know what you really feel

And you're starting to fear it

But Want just won't hear it

Won't admit that your world isn't real

 

And you've stolen; you've lied

Guess you'd **** to get by

And you've just lost the will to say "No"

How'd it start, one small pill?

Now you're in for the ****

Did you think it would let you let go?

 

What do I have to do to make you listen?

What do I have to do to make you learn?

What do I have to say to make you realise

That you're just taking your turn

And despite that special buzz

You're not special anymore

'Caus you're dying from the inside

Like so many before

And it still goes on....

 

And it still goes on

Day after day it still goes on

Nobody can say

How it will end

How will you die?

Alone, without friends?

Have you the strength

To do what it takes?

I know the answer

And my heart breaks

For you

 

With the sky blue and sunny

The warm scent of honey

Finally bright colour floods your world

Red as strawberries, as roses

Your mind finally closes

You find peace as the death colour pearls

 

And you've stolen, you've lied

And you've killed to get by

Did you realise you'd died long ago?

Yes, we all tried to save you

Didn't need us, oh brave you

You just turned away, just said "No"

 

Couldn't do a thing to make you listen

Couldn't say a word to make you learn

Couldn't make the sense to make you realise

You were just taking your turn

And despite that special buzz

You're not special anymore

'Caus you're gone, dead and buried

Like so many before

And it still goes on.
