Body of Lies
It's hard to find this bitter line
The HE and SHE inside my mind
How do I live through the pain?
Survive the days I feel insane
How do I live in this body of lies?
Misguided hips and ugly thighs
I wish I had a safety net
Burn out these thoughts I can't forget
I wish I had the answers now
Undo the past and disavow
left with panic that will not fade
I burned the bridge of this charade
The life I lived...the love I gave
Another day...my soul to save
