Paralytic States

She could hear them fucking through those thin hotel walls
She heard baby is crying she heard laughter she heard sirens
Red and blue lights flashing through those cheap hotel drapes
Blood spilled out on the porcelain
The bathtub is overflowing
Paralytic states of dependency
Our waking life is just a living dream
Agitated states of amazement
Never quite the woman that she wanted to be
Never quite the woman that she wanted to be

Spread out face down on those stained cheap hotel sheets
She spent the last years of her life running from the boy she used to be
Cut her face wide open shaved the bone down then pumped her lips up exaggerated
A fucked up kind of feminine
Paralytic states of dependency
Our waking life is just a living dream
Agitated states of amazement
Never quite the woman that she wanted to be
Never quite the woman that she wanted to be

Night time at the hotel there was fighting in the hall
Thin chain lock to keep the world out she held her breath till it was gone
Standing naked in front of that hotel bathroom mirror
In her dysphoria's reflection she still saw her mother's son
Paralytic states of dependency
Our waking life is just a living dream
Agitated states of amazement
Never quite the woman that she wanted to be
Never quite the woman that she wanted to be
By the time the ball dropped it was already over
By the time the ball dropped it was already over
No resolutions for the new year beginning tomorrow
