Drying unshed tears falling from graceless eyes
She is dancing in her sorrow
And singing through her pain
Feet treading on shards of dying dreams
Her voice is rasping noise lost in chaotic air
She will push herself onto the silver streets
Seducing all and any is who she is now
Daylight dreams crushed into the starlight sky
Where lips touch soft skin unwanted
Rising emotionless into her disgrace, disguise
Clothing herself in the red dress
So tauntingly walking to her corner of the world
Captured by lust and drenched in shallow kisses
Pulling at the sheets, gasping in the cold air
She pockets dirty cash and walks away
Tainted again from the nightly motels where she
Hides from the world in the most naked way
Heels tapping into taxi cabs, running to the dead streets
Lifeless as the sunshine strokes her cheeks
Almost forgetting her heart so broken
Almost unbeautiful
