The Girl Comes Undone

Castles are crumbling

This is no movie scene

Living a fantasy

She’s living a fantasy

The world will spin madly on

As she gets lost in a song

Of all that she’s meant to have done

All she was meant to have done

Picture the portrait

And what do you see

The fragments have shattered

These pieces of me

Held all together

With the thinnest of strings

But the girl’s come undone

Beautiful lies

That sound nice in my head

But fairytales fail

And the hero is dead

An emptied out shell

Masquerades in her stead

And the girl’s come undone

Lost in the memory

Of who she used to be

Or who she never was

Or who she never was

Paints herself into prose

The greatest of all heroes

That’s all she ever does

That’s all she ever does

Girl comes undone

Girl comes undone

She has no one

Left with no one

Holding the gun

Picked her poison

Left with no one

Girl comes undone
