Bad News Betty

I went to a place so far back in time

Everybody said something that meant nothing to me

So I walked around, Shadow on the ground

I spoke to it and it spoke back to me

What a clever thing to say I said

Told me many things I never could forget

 

That the sun’s light through the glass is not enough

And the moments as they pass

Like the sun’s light through the glass

It’s not enough

 

Maybe it’s the way your skin falls off when I touch you

Maybe it’s your voice echo hollow in my head

Maybe it’s me

She swims in the fading rays of light that fold away

And cleanses herself in the old man’s shadow

 

Another night with purple lids, slurred words and rolling lives

Another view with drowning thoughts, ground upturned, planted lies

 

And still you cannot handle what you save

Cause you yearn, you lust, you hunger and you crave

To be yourself untarnished

And unstained

 

I’m running, I’m running out of time, I’m running away

I’m running, I’m running out of time, I’m running away

 

I’m drowning, I’m running out of breathe, I’m floating away

I’m drowning, I’m running out of breathe, I’m floating away

 

But I don’t want to lose my mind, not this time

I don’t care if it’s all aligned, I don’t want to lose my

Not gonna lose my mind, not this time

Not this time
