You know I'll be long gone by then

"Leave her alone
She doesn't know
How to appreciate help

King of her throne
Put's on a show
Lost in the depths of her own hell

She doesn't think
She's falling to drinks
Don't you know you're someones daughter?

Get her a shrink
Because she doesn't blink
Before she bulldozes the alter

The victim again
A game of pretend
She always has her defenses up

We'll count to ten
The ink from her pen
She crosses out names for the cup"

Sorry I'm broken
Can't go unspoken
Killing each chance that I get

Use me as a token 
A sample explosion
To throw at the next girl who repents

You know I'll be long gone by then
