Sugar Coat
This pain in my heart
goes far beyond my pout
I'm in need of a drainage
that's how deep the bleeding
in my soul is raining
I used to be a nice girl
Now I'm the statistic
I never knew how far
the transmorphication had gone
until I saw the disappointment
in my mother's eyes
It showed me I was less loved
They flickered cold and sad
When they rested upon me
As if she remembers
the daughter she once had
I'm disappearing and it's quite sad
I remember what I used to be
This new girl shall be the death of me
Sin leaked in through open wounds
pretending to soothe
I trusted it's deceit
I liked what evil was doing to me
Such power oh what a rush
never seeing that inside I was changing
God no longer laid any fingers on this
future delinquent that I was becoming
the shimmer in my eyes went out
like two dead light bulbs
and I barely survived the struggle
Before I realized how deep
the devil had pulled me under
I know now that I need my mother
I'm not gonna sugar coat the pain
cause life isn't candy it's demanding
and it can turn a good girl out
Like pimps do to their prostitutes
and I wonder everyday if I will continue to sway
I grow numb thinking about what
will happen if I don't make a change
