No Turning Back
I remember smokestack ships and desert shores
Beauty parlor lipstick queen in fur coats
Lady born in empty cigarette smoke
Babe without a helping hand for the long years
In your fractured porcelain you drifted on
A distant girl for the wander
City boys that take you from your endless cold
A little warmth for the yearning
I was just a lonely-hearted hopeful
An art book for the color
Covered up in armored plates and paper cuts
With open holes for the healing
I held you close and showed you what you've never known
Comfort for the old fears
Took your hand and wrote you in my storybook
An easing hold on our draining waters
Soon there was no turning back
Soon there was no turning back
Aged into a quiet pacing dissonance
Couldn't find a way to make you whole again
Afraid no matter what I gave to hold you in
You'd still break out in pain and run away for air
In my daze I threw myself away for you
A lamb for the slaughter
Gave up everything I had to slip the noose
But I just made it harder
Soon there was no turning back
Soon there was no turning back
Beauty parlor lipstick queen in fur coats
Lady born in empty cigarette smoke
Babe without a helping hand for the long years
In your fractured porcelain you drifted on
A distant girl for the wander
City boys that take you from your endless cold
A little warmth for the yearning
I was just a lonely-hearted hopeful
An art book for the color
Covered up in armored plates and paper cuts
With open holes for the healing
I held you close and showed you what you've never known
Comfort for the old fears
Took your hand and wrote you in my storybook
An easing hold on our draining waters
Soon there was no turning back
Soon there was no turning back
Aged into a quiet pacing dissonance
Couldn't find a way to make you whole again
Afraid no matter what I gave to hold you in
You'd still break out in pain and run away for air
In my daze I threw myself away for you
A lamb for the slaughter
Gave up everything I had to slip the noose
But I just made it harder
Soon there was no turning back
Soon there was no turning back
