Rotten Apples

Go to sleep, shut the door
No, you won’t miss anything more
And in your dreams, you are queen
And all that you want to believe is real — is real
Then you wake up shouting some familiar name
It’s not the same

You’re just a girl
Just a girl who knows no shame
Whose desperate pace has lost its taste
A never-ending darkness weighs
I can’t avoid, I can’t complain
I know exactly who’s to blame
The girl who shares my best friend’s name

Please. Oh, please. I need some space to breathe
Stop stomping and squawking at me
Your mouth keeps moving
Oh, when we’ll be leaving
If you’ve ever shown the ability to care
I’m not aware

You’re just a girl
Just a girl who knows no shame
Whose desperate pace has lost its taste
A never-ending darkness weighs
I can’t avoid, I can’t complain
I know exactly who’s to blame
The girl who shares my best friend’s name. Oh.

Like father, like son
But little daughter what went wrong
A bad apple still part of the tree
Was just my luck that it fell near me

Just a girl, whose desperate pace has lost its taste
A never-ending darkness weighs
I can’t avoid, I can’t complain
I know exactly who’s to blame
I blame the girl, she has no shame

The roof I’m under is still the same
The walls are quickly closing in
My patience’s growing very, very thin
Very thin
