State of pain   Like mercury   Hearing pink illusion   Gorgeous at 85   Older at 23      I drink the water out of time   I said, has anybody seen   The whirlpool floating in my mind   I said, has anybody seen   This is the low that I could find      And I'm on solitary sand   And I've been stepped on by a man   But I stood taller than I am   In parentheses      Beauty queens are very shy   More than lash that meets the eye   So she jumps then wants to fly   But it's too late now   I'm in denial      I get midevil on boy bands   I said, is anybody listening?   The way life makes the nice girls fast   I said, is anybody listening?   It isn't just a lucky chance      And I'm on solitary sand   And all the bullshit from a man   But found exactly who I am      I'll never be the vision of a girl who can write poetry   I'll never be the little black dress we've seen on Natalie B.   I'll never be five foot ten, I'm barely five foot three   I'm on solitary sand, but in parentheses
