Stuck In the Middle

Smile on her face She is no charity case She earns her own money, Shes got a job She cleans up well, shes no slob But she's stuck in this town. And she's slipping further and further to the ground She wants to escape Heroin, Wisconsin But these people aren’t her friends, they're kin She's known them since she was little. But shes constantly stuck in the middle. Whose side does she take? This isn’t a piece of cake. Its a game of tetris and shes losing either way. She doesn’t want to choose, maybe another day. But when the days slip away, Is everything going to be okay? She wants to make the right choice. But she’s struggling to find her voice
