Pearl

Can't you see what you're doing to me?

She's got you up in the clouds

Then down on your knees.

And I know your loves for her

That it's not reserved for me,

There is none like it in the world

I am always second to Pearl.

 

You are up all night long with her,

You are kissing in the kitchen

Sometimes you even go missing

for days and days at a time-

You come home wearing a strangers face

And tell us all you're fine.

 

But I,

 

I am stronger than anything,

That you can snort up your nose

See my love is ever-lasting

Where her feelings come and go

I will not leave you alone where you fell-

But chase your demons out of your mind

And drag them back to hell.
