Pernicious Weeds

The pale ring painted in the tan
Welcomes the weakness of man
Twisted her curls like a doll
Plays dumb, plays hurt, plays us all
Talks big and touches too long
Well they're friends of course they get along
Stays late, laughs way too hard
Ignores the loaded remarks
Gas light the gall with your nerve
Spray paints the gold on her word
The wolf had finished the meat
Then wore its skin to sleep

How do you sleep at night?
How do you sleep at night?

Shame on you
Hide your secrets in the shade
The name you choose
Won't undo the damage that you made
The blame you've dodged
Could not read unwritten law
The pain you've caused
Will comeback to open jaws
She said it all with her eyes
Began to believe in the lies
Covered her tracks in the earth
Yeah no one will ever get hurt
Dressed up to go to the gym
Girl's night out on a whim
Perfume for hiking with friends
Yeah nobody knows where you've been
Her curling iron had broke
Burned her neck to her throat
The red hair that stuck to her bust
Sure made a fool out of us
How do you sleep at night?
How do you sleep at night?
Shame on you
Hide your secrets in the shade
The name you choose
Won't undo the damage that you made
The blame you've dodged
Could not read unwritten law
The pain you've caused
Will come back to right its wrong
No way to help how you feel
Excused free will at the wheel
The red letter no one can see
Karma will come back to feed
