All that she sought

The gaping hole in her heart sucked in her sanity
Consumed in the search for love, all she found was profanity
Word after word
Lie after lie
Man after man
She began to lose her dignity

Her body the only thing she could control
She used to find purpose
And as she spread her legs wide
Man after man
She hoped she could find something to restore her pride

Instead all she got was sorrow
And each for a night, her body they borrowed
The little happiness she had, from her it was pardoned

See all she wanted was acknowledgement
Maybe someone who’d see past her arraignment
But with cold looks they’d pass her judgment

Day in and out
She could never speak out
With no one in her defense stand
She could not make them understand
 So she communicated the only way she knew how
Drugs sex and alcohol gave her a sense of power

Always in life’s play assuming an intoxicated role
Her body the only thing she could almost control

But what’s a body without a sound mind?
That’s why today she lies in cemetery nine

Driven over the edge by life’s hounds
She couldn’t help but jump off the building
 face first into the ground

All she was seeking was love
Maybe a little tenderness from above

All she was seeking was peace
Maybe she found that as she lay on that bloody concrete


Today she lies in cemetery nine
Driven over the edge by life’s hounds
She couldn’t help but jump off the building
 Face first into the ground

All she was seeking was peace
Maybe she found that as she lay on that bloody concrete
