Selfish Alibi
She held against herself
Her heart was on the run
She hurt her own feelings
It's rollercoaster has just begun
She kept on telling herself
It wasn't just done and done
She needed more to the story
It was her only option
She couldn't hold reality
It was all in her plan
To hide it all before
They saw the truth in her hands
She sensed it near but she
Didn't know where to stand
Her mind, her soul, her spirit
Revealed her hologram
Looking through black glass
Hot fog from her breath
Blinding her from the storm
Dying to see within
She can't keep a rest
Intertwined by all her problems
Falling, breaking down on the
Cement ground, all her
Worlds collide
Aching, miserable, hurting
In her bones, forming
Her selfish alibi
She let the raindrops fall
And puddles hit the floor
A dreadful piece of mind
Smeared on the bedroom door
A little more, she'd say
As she reluctantly poured
She was ashamed of going through
With this tiresome chore
Looking through black glass
Hot fog from her breath
Engulfed by her helpless storm
Dying to escape
From the mental bricks
Intertwined by all her problems
Falling, breaking down on the
Cement ground, all her
Worlds collide
Aching, miserable, hurting
In her bones, forming
Her selfish alibi
And she knows she's putting her heart on trial
And she knows she's gotta plaster on a smile
And she knows she's gotta pull her thoughts along
And she knows that maybe she was wrong
Trying to resolve
All those broken causes
There's no stop
Lying for them all
Cause she needs a pause
She's gotta put herself on top
Falling, breaking down on the
Cement ground, all her
Worlds collide
Aching, miserable, hurting
In her bones, forming
Her selfish alibi
Her heart was on the run
She hurt her own feelings
It's rollercoaster has just begun
She kept on telling herself
It wasn't just done and done
She needed more to the story
It was her only option
She couldn't hold reality
It was all in her plan
To hide it all before
They saw the truth in her hands
She sensed it near but she
Didn't know where to stand
Her mind, her soul, her spirit
Revealed her hologram
Looking through black glass
Hot fog from her breath
Blinding her from the storm
Dying to see within
She can't keep a rest
Intertwined by all her problems
Falling, breaking down on the
Cement ground, all her
Worlds collide
Aching, miserable, hurting
In her bones, forming
Her selfish alibi
She let the raindrops fall
And puddles hit the floor
A dreadful piece of mind
Smeared on the bedroom door
A little more, she'd say
As she reluctantly poured
She was ashamed of going through
With this tiresome chore
Looking through black glass
Hot fog from her breath
Engulfed by her helpless storm
Dying to escape
From the mental bricks
Intertwined by all her problems
Falling, breaking down on the
Cement ground, all her
Worlds collide
Aching, miserable, hurting
In her bones, forming
Her selfish alibi
And she knows she's putting her heart on trial
And she knows she's gotta plaster on a smile
And she knows she's gotta pull her thoughts along
And she knows that maybe she was wrong
Trying to resolve
All those broken causes
There's no stop
Lying for them all
Cause she needs a pause
She's gotta put herself on top
Falling, breaking down on the
Cement ground, all her
Worlds collide
Aching, miserable, hurting
In her bones, forming
Her selfish alibi
