REFLECTIONS AND MIRRORS
Wished and Hoped
I’m going out
I wanna drink until I ache
It’s a pill tipped back
Spend my days locked in a haze—
1, 2, 3 — drink
1, 2, 3 — drink
( I hope that we don’t overdose
I’m gonna puke it anyway )
I don’t really wanna know what’s good for me
I’m entitled to so much more
’Cause I was raised up
To be admired ( I wish I wasn’t such a narcissist )
To be noticed
But when you look over ( Now you see me )
You look right through ( And now you don’t )
I do not feel the fear of falling
I wanna fly like a bird through the night
High all the time
To keep you off my mind
And you can’t save me now
It’s innocence lost
The ugly years of being a fool
( ain’t youth meant to be beautiful? )
