VHS PRINCESS
this place is a ghost town
without you here
tv on in the background
drowning out the fear
going to video palace
back when that was a thing
this guy has his hazard lights on and
i wonder if he knows that i’m drunk
every word flowing out of my mouth and
spoken with his silver tongue
but lately ive been getting back on my meds
rearranging my bedroom, reconnecting with my old friends
telling stories to them they can’t believe
about that time that i was too high to breathe
leave me in peace, i can’t get you out of my head
lived there so long, its time you start paying rent
cause it was my choice to give my body up
to a man like you cause i didn’t give a fuck
and you don’t either stop acting like you do
cause you only want me if there’s sex in it for you
take my clothes off like its christmas
i know im top of your wishlist
then when i look into the mirror
after we fuck in your truck i can see clear
i just want attention from someone
and all you ever wanted was to
coming up next on the tv
everything everyone says about me
that i look like im from the movies
that i make love like its my destiny
but i want back
what i can’t have
my innocence
playing freeze tag
with my guard down
touch my heart now
your ignorance
always wins somehow
did you ever think i was any
thing other than just your baby
got me crying feel like i can’t speak
instill the fear and desert me
fuck me on the floor of our hometown hotel
unlike snow white looking through a wishing well
i have but one song and it’s not yours to tell
cause it’s my story and it’s mine to
selling myself to jesus at offering
looking back i fear i was haunting
the wrong house the wrong school the wrong street
hang me on the cross like an art piece
