Poster Child

"Ever wish that you could click your heels
Get back to what you thought was real?"
She asks as she shuts her eyes
"Sometimes I just can't survive"

He knew that you were underage
His mind it was set ablaze
He'll cry and apologize
But he can never empathize

Remember when you're on that stage
The war that you'll never wage
Would you trade your inked up skin
For her to feel clean again?
Remember when you close your eyes
All you'll ever see is night
But her mind is filled with you
The night you broke her in two
And stole her youth

He said "Sometimes I've got a dirty mouth
Come here and just wash it out"
She shakes when she recalls
The poster that was on her wall

"You know that I don't read minds
I didn't know that I vandalized"
He'll say in his apology
That won't erase the memories

Remember when you're on that stage
The war that you'll never wage
Would you trade your inked up skin
For her to feel clean again?
Remember when you close your eyes
All you'll ever see is night
But her mind is filled with you
The night you broke her in two
And stole her youth

She stands in a music hall
And can't seem to forget at all
But he's back on Instagram
A poster child and a PR plan

Remember when you're on that stage
The war that you'll never wage
Would you trade your inked up skin
For her to feel clean again?
Remember when you close your eyes
All you'll ever see is night
But her mind is filled with you
The night you broke her in two
And stole her youth
