Said I was a subtle mess,
No figure in my loose dress.
But oh, you touched my pretty hair
Enchanted with that evening stare.

I am no Barbie doll for you,
I need no fixing with a glue,
Don’t need no man to light me up
I drink vodka in a broken cup.

I am a person all alone
No social standard in my bones
No need to laugh, no need to grieve
Why is it so hard to believe?

You shake your head at this rebel
And roll your eyes at me, oh well
Two and two don’t equal four
For you, there is no scarlet door

Of love, of hate, of angry waves
That jolt awake, you aren’t brave.
So step aside before you melt
Under my gaze that demons felt.

Liken all my pain to dust,
You find your ways to follow lust;
And that is how the story ends
And that is how the river bends.

So I won’t wear those nasty clothes
My disobedience you dearly loathe,
I have no diamonds left to give
Despite your hatred, I’ll breathe and live.

I’ll breathe and live for days to come,
And I’ll wear brown rags for fun.
I’ll be that girl you scrutinize
You’ll be the soul I hypnotize.

Goodbye to your crimson face
No mystery clues for you to trace
No plastic toy for you to break
No beating heart for you to take.
