Double Life
Her double life she cannot escape
But this life does not involve a mask or cape
It does include a knife she uses everyday
And her thoughts always looking for a way
To leave the world she had learned to hate
But she knows that she must wait
For the right moment when no one is at the house
And she doesn't have to be as quiet as a mouse
Wait until she has finished things with the people in her life
That have forced her to use that bloodied knife
Until she has written that dreaded letter
Because she knows that her mother can't make it any better
So she goes to her room and hugs her dog, Daisy
Then her vision begins to go a little hazy
Because she had just downs those four bottles of pills
And she knows that the pills aren't the only thing that kills
Although the pills may be what put her in the hole
It's the people behind them that killed her soul
