lyrics

She said I'm not gonna stop until the morning light takes it away from me.

Vs.1
From her demeanor it was /easy to /tell she’s a raver/
man you would meet her and then fall for her rancid behavior/
cus from her birth she had been falling, nobody would save her/
adoption the saving option it looked bad on paper,
so she was dancing and prancing to pretty, pretty lights/
tumbling outside to rumble in petty kitty fights/
heels soaked in beer, and raver’s party sweat/
she looked in mirrors and saw that she had hardly met/
herself, but then she saw that product on the shelf/
and in a minute she forgot about her friends as well/
she’d taken shots at life if life was in a liquid form/
the moment she was born strife and scorn became her norm/
and she adorned painful piercings on her everywhere/
loving every glance, every look, and every stare/
although she’d try to prove to you that she didn’t care/
she had blue hair, to prove… that she was there/

And I could see it in her eyes, she was running from something, and I could hear it in her voice, shes been running from something. No return, your already gone. Nothing they say now will change your mind. You can't turn back, and you don't know, which way to start crawling in from where your at.


So when Johnny, rolls into town/
With his black rimmed glasses, and marijuana crown/
Promising every girl, all of his attention/
Mentioned his band in every other sentence/
Knocking em dead, with his blue green eyes/
And his sincere smile, that tries to hide/
That he’s really just any other guy with pride/
when she met him she had thought true love at sight/
(q)Like the, angels above loved her today/
like finally she thought her awful luck had swayed/
but, she couldn’t see his ability to persuade/
in any manner and way, every method to get laid/
so she was totally his, when he was fake/
a recipe for disaster, waiting to bake/
because she wasn’t exactly in the healthiest state/
raised by hate when her heart snaps, her brain breaks.

And I could see in her eyes, she running from something, and I could feel it in her hands, she's done running from everything. No return, your to far gone, nothing they say now will, change your mind, you cant turn back, and you don't want to, there darkness inside her and its time to let it out.

From the scene, you could tell that the struggle was brutal/
man You could see that she had found that her scissors were useful/
cus From the start, it had been laden with awful intentions/
Violence broke the silence of all of their tensions/
So Johnny laid on the floor, in broken, shiny glass/
A bag covering his bruised body beat and gashed/
You can imagine all his other lovers were aghast/
To find that Johnny was a cheater after he had passed/
But she was fast, and figured it out while he was breathing/
And so the crazy raver dancing girl began conceiving
Of which way she’d like more to see him bleeding/
And leading him on calling him over one evening/
Leaving such a seductive message he had to go/
Ignorant that he’d be receiving, several seething blows/
Imagine his terror, with her screaming and running mascara/
Being aware of how his karma had flowed/

Im not gonna stop.
