Anatomy of a Girl
I always wondered what I'd look like on the inside if I was cut open... I think my soul would be black. Dark. Or maybe... empty. An endless void of every mistake I made in my life.
Open heart surgery
Everyone trying to purge me
Of the things that only I see
Like they want to be me
But what they need from me is but a broken dream
Lost in the sea of my painful memories
A time of innocence that cannot be redeemed
Like an offer seen on TV
My mind a meaningless eternity
Drowning in the riptides of insanity
My life written like a soap opera story
Life becoming my mental complexity
Lost the sight of my ability
And what I have foreseen
Is my existence becoming history
I am a complete mystery
A girl behind the scenes
Watching her dreams come true on a television screen
Yes, this is she
The girl of smoke and steam
