Alas, you can’t hear my screams
Above the ringing in your ears
Laying limp and fragile in my arms
Eyes washed completely by a burning substance you ingested
You are not in your shell of safety
Floating around in swirls, tasting the stars
Adrift in a sea of manufactured bliss
Until daybreak it will be my task to play anchor for you
Such a pretty girl with no direction
Confined, with no safe way to escape
Wearing her issues for all to see
Yet denying their existence whenever they are called upon
This night has been as reckless as you
But you won’t let anyone care, for shame
