Dress me up and strip me down
Numbness lets the world go round
Killing souls in every town
Flesh is money pound for pound
Fill me up and let me drown
Somehow ill be safe and sound
Until the day I come unwound
And why my soul is never found
Yet I'll still remain over ground
Stripping royals of their crowns
The way they talk is so profound
Here I go again
Reflecting on the time I spent
I came so far but wont repent
Shunned and left bruised and bent
Living though this pole I'm tethered
My mistakes are public record
In the streets I'm tarred and feathered
I long for arms which love created
That love I learned is over rated
Spare me lectures of the contrary
You're tales belong in a library
Cynical since I was born
An un-wanting woman, not even torn
Can I find love and not crave it
Taking back once you gave it
Emptiness poses more regret
A woman scorned is a greater threat
