• the girl is made of lead
    she dusts herself off
    after she drops to the floor
    but in
    reality she cannot
    move
    (don’t be sad)

    the girl is hollow
    but not afraid
    she laughs about nothing
    but in
    reality she cannot
    stop hurting
    (don’t mind the stitches in your side)

    the girl is never there
    (anymore)
    she doesn’t want to think
    but in
    reality she cannot
    help but
    wonder
    (humans always wonder)

    the girl dreams about
    things she shouldn’t
    and feels guilty
    but in
    reality she cannot
    stop dreaming
    (would you hold on to a dream)

    and the girl is made of lead
    and the girl is hollow
    and the girl is never there (anymore)
    and the girl dreams about

    a day when she is
    no longer
    made of lead
