She Slips Away

Sentenced from the start, destined to fall

Hushed screams echo, trapped in it all.

every sip she takes, running from her pain,

But on her skin the scars remain.

Once a smile, now a distant stare,

every blurry shot, hard to breathe the air.

She hides behind bluish green eyes,

Filled with dreams but she’s fated, disguised

Drowning in illusions, mascara running thin,

Fading in the chaos, trapped beneath her skin.

Chasing the demons, turning light grey,

Oh, every night she wants to go away

Ooooo and she slips away,

all her scars on display.

Disguised and betrayed (she slips away),

no more sins to repay.

Ooooo oooo she slips away,

away, away.

Black candles burn, telling truths of her past,

a sea of empty bottles, brings the future fast.

Friends whisper through tears, she’s falling, oh

While in the dark she’s found calling.

I can’t do this anymore, can’t keep hiding lies

layers of despair wrapped in sweet disguise.

Every high she runs away, every low a cruel chase,

Then we lost her, no final embrace

Ooooo and she slips away,

all her scars on display.

Disguised and betrayed (she slips away),

no more sins to repay.

Ooooo oooo she slips away,

away, away.

At the gravesite, she lies without a fight,

The ghost of a familiar face, fading into night.

Behind the disguise, now silent she lies

A fragile heart now unable to cry.

Ooooo oooo she slips away,

With all her scars on display.

Disguised and cold (she slips away),

no more sins to repay.

Ooooo oooo she slips away,

away, away (away)
