"H"

Hollow-eyed girl in her motionless world
Drained of her will, emptied of spark
Once in her lifetime her soul was a pearl
Shopping for images in drugs and dark

Sirens of the city wailing her down
Drugs are redemption, it all fades and dies
Once in her lifetime a princess with crown
Finding her kind of peace in two nightly highs

She’s looking for an angry fix
Anything for heaven no six
Take her to oblivion fast
God forbid the “H” don’t last

Hollow-eyed girl the world did deceive you
Waiting in vain for anyone’s mercy
Once in her lifetime her faith wasn’t blue
Radiant eyes and flaming desires.

Shame wells in me for passing by
Drained of my will – emptied of spark
Whose soul is more lost – I don’t even try!
I flee from the scene – sick of my denial

She’s looking for an angry fix
Anything for heaven no six
Take her to oblivion fast
God forbid the “H” don’t last
