...

my confusion sounded like excuses
a girl trying to fight her way out
but my only defense
is hardly as intense
they think i'm just some girl
sly -- like the devil himself
cutting the backdoor for herself
with the knife she used to
stab them all in the back

but really
i just cannot pretend
i know the answers anymore.

i've been waiting for a good cry
to bring clarity to it all.
but i'm just so empty of tears
i have nothing more to offer
than a smile
to deceive them all
and i know
my confusion just sounds like...
