Was It a Lie? |
The yard was cold and dark |
The tracks were clearly marked |
But she was tired, she didn’t see |
She was just out alone |
She wasn’t going home |
She was going somewhere far away |
The train was moving through |
As we know the world has to do |
Everyone will say it was her fault |
Somewhere, a camera placed |
Inside this awful place |
The accident is about to start |
Was it a lie? |
Was it a lie? |
Did it fill your head? |
Did it entertain? |
Will you feel alive at the end of it? |
When the collision came |
She died right away |
Her body flung almost sixty feet |
And as she split in two |
Was she coming straight for you? |
And do you have a camera for a face? |
Was she your TV show? |
Was she your video? |
A woman’s pain: never private, always seen |
I want to close my eyes |
I want to cut the wires |
I want a day not made for you to see |
Was it a lie? |
Was it a lie? |
Did it fill your head? |
Did it entertain? |
Will you feel alive at the end of it? |
When you play it back to me, it feels more like a parody |
Now, it’s all I will ever be |
That’s all I will ever be |
(You broadcast it in 50 states) |
I really don’t care about it |
(Looped her death on the internet) |
I don’t care if it’s cold |
(And a woman’s life got cheaper that day) |
Now, I want to be the prettiest wreck you’ve seen |
(A woman’s life got cheaper that day) |
Did it fill your head? |
Did it entertain? |
Will you feel alive at the end of it? |
