She's Only A Device

All the pills, drugs, and alcohol lay on the table

Her emotions from day to day run very unstable

Hey eyes look somewhat dead

Tonight, her cuts appear to be the deepest shade of red

With every ensuing beer

She's throwing away her career

Inserting another pill

To get high, it's her idea of a thrill

But the sex is what she loves the most

Selling herself to any decent paying host

By now she's probably got some kind of disease

From kneeling everynight, the bruises show true on her knees

Her beautiful image has long faded away

Her bones protrude out from all the loss of weight

And in her selfish mind she knows the world is ending

But for some reason she keeps on pretending

Telling everyone it will be alright

That we should never give up on our fight

But behind closed doors she is pathetic

Just another piece of trash, a useless drug addict

Her morals lay buried, put to rest a long time ago

She ever so desperately clings to her facade of hope

It all runs impure through her veins

Her blood has become addicted to the cocaine

Everyone takes a piece, using her up dry

Look at her now, she's just someones device
