In spite of herself she continued the story

She continued the wanting, the needing, never quite receiving

Inside of her shell she kept her emotion

She could only imagine the feelings but never quite reach them

And she lies as she leads you away

And she smiles as she fades away



Despite all her burns she went straight to the fire

And the flame took the skin from the bone

And the bone from the heart and the soul

If I could find a way to relieve all the hurting

I'd take all of the joy from the sky and put it back where it belongs

And she lies if she says she's okay

And she smiles as she fades away



In spite of herself she continued the story

She continued the wanting, the needing but couldn't quite receive

And she lies if she says she's okay

And she smile as she fades

And she lies as she fades

And she cries as she fades away
