They know how to put you down
They don’t think that you’re a star
They see right through you, touch you, push you
‘Til you feel how very far
You are from being your own woman
You’re the reflection of a man
So you get out and you move towns
Until there’s no one left around
Then you’re looking in the mirror
And see yourself for what you are
‘Cause all you’ve ever been in life is
Their tragic counterpart
And then you break down in the kitchen
About not knowing what to say
When somebody someday asks you
What’s you’re favorite drinking game
Oh you’ve been too afraid to go out
And you’ve hated it inside
So there you’re looking pretty rigid
In that driving school that night
But what the fuck did you expect from
Somebody with a name
That your mother only gave you
So they would complement her taste
So you lay down, down, down
Look at the sky
I’d let them drown, drown, drown
Eye for an eye
Goddamn, you suck it up
To make life easier tonight
And they could spit you in the face
You still wouldn’t start the fight
And all those plans
How are they working?
You feel at ease with your own mind?
Oh you’re still lying to yourself
Bitch, have you ever even tried
To think not everything’s about you
Nobody even cares
Who the fuck do you think loves you
If you couldn’t even care
To try and memorize their names
When they’re simple and they’re plain
Unless you act like it’s a game
How are you not even ashamed
And all this money lying ‘round
Get up and take it to the bank
Did you really get so faceless?
Did you already forget
What it was like when you were fifteen
Only halfway through the month
Your brother had to pay the groceries
‘Cause mommy spent it before lunch
So you lay down, down, down
Look at the sky
I’d let them drown, drown, drown
Eye for an eye
Dirty teeth go deep
Stepping stones to sleep
If you don’t wanna die
Have you ever been alive?
Dirty teeth go deep
Stepping stones to sleep
If you don’t wanna die
Have you ever been alive?
Dirty teeth go deep
Stepping stones to sleep
If you don’t wanna die
Have you ever been alive?
He looked like he would wanna fuck you
So you remembered that guy’s face
And on the way home from the bar
He came across your way
And oh his name was nice and simple
Didn’t seem like one of those
Who’d take you just because they can
You pictured him without his clothes
But when it came down to the day
You finally asked him out
He said that right now he’s not looking
Revealing what you were about
Oh you couldn’t just believe it
There had to be somebody else
You gave everything you’ve got
You’ve lost everything you had
For some money you can’t keep
And a name too hard to spell
For an interesting story
For a secret you can’t tell
