Charlotte Martin - In Parentheses Lyrics
State of painLike mercuryHearing pink illusionGorgeous at 85Older at 23I drink the water out of timeI said, has anybody seenThe whirlpool floating in my mindI said, has anybody seenThis is the low that I could findAnd I'm on solitary sandAnd I've been stepped on by a manBut I stood taller than I amIn parenthesesBeauty queens are very shyMore than lash that meets the eyeSo she jumps then wants to flyBut it's too late nowI'm in denialI get midevil on boy bandsI said, is anybody listening?The way life makes the nice girls fastI said, is anybody listening?It isn't just a lucky chanceAnd I'm on solitary sandAnd all the bullshit from a manBut found exactly who I amI'll never be the vision of a girl who can write poetryI'll never be the little black dress we've seen on Natalie B.I'll never be five foot ten, I'm barely five foot threeI'm on solitary sand, but in parentheses
