Decadent Dolls

Purple people skipping down my acid trip Warning me of the fall that is to come If I don't escape the twisted fate that I am eating for breakfast Diversion from reality Divorcing misery while on vacation with hysteria Dancing on your teacups in the crimson sky Popping dolls, hypnotic state a thrill Mesmerizing, suicidal fantasies of you my dear Clever abating, suffocating control throughout the years Was this an escape from reality or an invitation to hell? No matter, here I wallow in your blackened abyss Choke me silly Laugh me still Who am I? Playing dolls Fantasizing of my Barbie dream house But, being left in this trailer park to die Forgetting yourself Bewitched by my emerald eyes You fell under my spell, my love Swallowing down the decadent dolls That make you an amnesiac to your torment Sliding down rainbows Swinging wildly from the trees Laughing loudly to the bitter silence That has brought you to your knees Floating words of confusion Clouds my heart on this moonlit night Puzzling drama rules the day Whipping me into humble submission Will my soul make it onto your ballot or will you vote on me another day? Collect your signatures with your superficial smile Take some more decadent dolls So you'll be alive So you'll be alive Even though your dead inside Take my hand to this wonderland until your memories subside © 2008 Courtney Dyer
