Charlotte Martin In Parentheses Lyrics

In Parentheses Lyrics



State of pain like mercury

Hearing pink illusions

Gorgeous at 85, older at 23



I drink the water out of time

I said has anybody seen the whirlpool floating in my mind

I said has anybody seen

This is the low that I could find



I'm on solitary sand and

I've been stepped on by a man

But I've stood taller than I am

In parentheses



Beauty queens are very shy

More than lash than meets your eye

So she jumps then wants to fly

It¹s too late now I'm in denial



I'll get medieval on boy-bands

I said is anybody listening

The way life makes the nice girls fast

I said is anybody listening

It isn't just unlucky chance



And I'm on solitary sand

And I've had bullshit from a man

But found exactly who I am



I'll never be the vision of a girl who can write poetry

I'll never be the little black dress we¹ve seen on natalie b.

I'll never be 5'10", I'm barely 5'3"
