Reckless

In the middle of the night

The wretched truth must be disclosed

Own it bitch, you reap what you sow

There will be no hiding behind makeup,

Or a padded bra or a smile

Vulnerable, exposed. Nerve endings raw

I can't lie anymore, not even to myself

Yesterday's eyeliner is smeared on my cheek

My hair is a tangled, knotted mess

There are bruises on my bare legs

More scars than I can count

My nightgown is frayed on my thighs

I'm a fucking wreck, man made disaster

I'm on a mission to self destruct

Supernova, I'm about to implode

I'll take any motherfucker down with me

who's dumb enough to come along?

This bottle is my most faithful lover,

At least until its emptier than I am

Useless now - I'll toss it in the street

The glass breaking - that my favorite sound

Guess what?

There's a million bottles more

For this worthless little whore

What do I smoke?

Well, sweetheart, what do you got?

When you've snorted snowy lines off strangers

When it's easier to give up your body than your name

When you wake up half dead in the afternoon and you don't know where the fuck you are

When you walk deserted streets at 3am

When you leave your doors unlocked while you're gone

When you drive with your eyes closed

Nah, I won't kill myself,

suicide ain't for me

But if I keep this shit up,

I'll be dead before too long
