Purple hair, facial piercings, tatoos,
Offensive clothing are all
The disguise I need
To protect myself
Underneath the black lipstick
Behind the spider tatoo
All I am is a scarred little girl
Just trying to make my way
In the only way I know how
The burden of protection
Often leaves you lonely
Again I find my way
Drugs, lots of drugs
Take them away, and
You lose what you do have
Building the walls up for so long
Hides the truth so well that
It can never be found again
The real me has been replaced
By this actress who believes
That she can take the leading role
And protect the invaluable
But her salary will never be high enough
To pay the price of fear
Of finding someone to
Return her love |
