More Than Just A Pretty Face
Inside four walls a pretty face sleeps
She sleeps to dream as her dreams let her escape
Inside four walls a pretty face awakes
She awakes to a tormented mind and lost soul
Inside four walls a pretty face cries
She cries to get out the words she can't say
Inside four walls a pretty face listens
She listens for the answers to her unspoken prayers
Inside four walls a pretty face falls
She falls back into herself and back sleep
Inside four walls a pretty face sleeps
She sleeps again to escape
Inside four walls a pretty face awakes ...
She sleeps to dream as her dreams let her escape
Inside four walls a pretty face awakes
She awakes to a tormented mind and lost soul
Inside four walls a pretty face cries
She cries to get out the words she can't say
Inside four walls a pretty face listens
She listens for the answers to her unspoken prayers
Inside four walls a pretty face falls
She falls back into herself and back sleep
Inside four walls a pretty face sleeps
She sleeps again to escape
Inside four walls a pretty face awakes ...

Full or regret my body lays
The truth is so far away
Wanting to get back up
And I fall back into me
Full of fear my body lays
It's hardly asleep
Thoughts numb the pain
And tears drown my soul
Full of hatred my body lays
Broken and torn I'll never be the same
Silent screams calm my nerves
And laughter is nowhere to be found
Full of emptiness by body lays
Mind, body and soul, stolen
My strengths become weak
And my weaknesses become nonexistent
Full of sickness my body lays
This...
Full or regret my body lays
The truth is so far away
Wanting to get back up
And I fall back into me
Full of fear my body lays

Thoughts numb the pain
And tears drown my soul
Full of hatred my body lays
Broken and torn I'll never be the same
Silent screams calm my nerves
And laughter is nowhere to be found
Full of emptiness by body lays
Mind, body and soul, stolen
My strengths become weak
And my weaknesses become nonexistent
Full of sickness my body lays

The Prozac seems to be working but she doesn't want to take it,
She continuously gives him her heart, and he constantly breaks it.
Jose Quervo, she's beginning to drink it straight,
Her nights are no longer filled with innocent dates.
Passed out again, with her clothes torn off yet shoes still tied,
In an unfamiliar place, with a stranger by her side.
The suns coming up as she's going to bed,
The lies he told play like reruns in her head.
He's seen her at her weakness and only a glance at her best,
She told him from the start she's different than...

She
She knows right from wrong and she understands good from bad
She even knows the truth they keep telling her but she still denies the lies
But something deep within her won't let her move on, something within her is pulling her along, to the other side where love does not exist, where light does not shine through and hope is only a word
She takes it day by day wondering when it will all go away
She tells herself no one understands and no one ever will
She's in a battle with herself and she doesn't want to fight
She didn't ask for this to begin so when will it all...
