LYRIC FOR SALE

By Magenta Mara

Intro
Her eyes tinted rose
The world in her hands
But she threw it all away
She lived in utopia
It was made just for her
But she decided she couldn't stay

She wonders what lies
On the other side
A world full of stars
But they're all caught in the crossfire

Chorus
Oh, rose-tinted girl
Where are you running to?
Packing your bags to leave the greener grass for a wasteland
Don't forget to close your eyes
To keep your spirit alive
If you dare to open them, you'll be forced to give up your lie

Verse 1
She flew heaven's nest
To settle into hell
But with selective sight
The flames don't burn so well
Who cares about the demons roaming near?
She's never been happier than she is here
Dancing in the glowing palm trees
Everything will be fine

Bridge 1
But bullet holes can break the lenses
Maybe one day, you'll come to your senses

Chorus
Oh, rose-tinted girl
Where are you running to?
Packing your bags to leave the greener grass for a wasteland
Don't forget to close your eyes
To keep your spirit alive
If you dare to open them, you'll be forced to give up your lie

Verse 2
She's brought to life her fantasy
And she's never coming home
Don't you think that the embers
Give her skin a healthy glow?
Who cares about the people hiding in fear?
She is basking in the sunshine she brought here
Splashing in the polluted ocean
Everything will be fine

Bridge 2
But what will you do when they break your lenses?
Maybe one day, you'll realise you lost your senses

Chorus
Oh, rose-tinted girl
Where are you running to?
Packing your bags to leave the greener grass for a wasteland (Break the lenses)
Don't forget to close your eyes
To keep your spirit alive
If you dare to open them, you'll be forced to give up your lie

Chorus (alt.)
Oh, rose-tinted girl
Where are you running to?
Packing your bags to leave the greener grass for a wasteland (Break the lenses)
Don't forget to close your eyes
To keep your spirit alive
I know deep down you're hoping that you won't have to hide
