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? |
