Song Lyrics

She walks alone on a shameful path
That leads to a lonely aftermath
Behind the illusion she tries to hide
Without the freedom to decide

She sits around and wastes her day
On words she'll never get to say
There must be another way
To live instead of this

You can't sleep and you can't dream
You're wide awake when you are fast asleep
You've wasted your entire life
So go ahead and live the lie

Your whole life is a lie
Lies
Maybe there is another life
With words that won't cut like a knife
No more image to defend
When the whole world comes to an end

She won't have to prepare
For those who wouldn't even dare
To talk or laugh or care
About the way she looks

Jon Hendricks, Thelonious Sphere Monk
