lyrics

She had a hard life

She had a hard life

Not like the good life

In Seventeen Magazine



Her mum had cruel ways

Dad left for better days

And took her childhood with him



And oh she saw worlds in the sky

And they whispered their secrets to her

And oh paintings in the museum were trapped souls

With only her to hear them



She couldn’t find her own face

Or in her room her own place

Her hate had wove black as any old lace

She knew the night things

After the light things

They brought their own devils with them



And oh colors came to a light

When she put her brushes to them

And oh when she gave of her song

Worlds transpired through her



She mates her dreams

She weeds her lies

Her sight is a prism

Her will to survive



But when the picture darks

When the silence flows

She turns inward

And then the danger grows

And round little pills

Work fast and cover chills

Her paints collect dust

Upon the windowsill



And oh she said she painted a dream

But life was never caught so clean

And oh her eyes would shine through

And you saw the world in a way that’s true



She had a hard life

She had a hard life

Not like the good life

In Seventeen Magazine
