She was a good girl from down the street
Loved by everyone she meets
With the prettiest blue eyes
That were so full of life
But a cruel world and a cold night
Sharpened the blade of the knife
That cuts deep but leaves no mark
Out there in the dark
The shrink says she needs some friends
But she says she's done with them
So she took a peek behind that glass
And found her Momma's secret stash
Now she's got some friends at last
Named Codeine and Xanax
And her blue eyes turn grey
As she slowly fades away
Lock them up and toss the key
They're just junkies
You're safe behind your lies
And your willful blind eye
In your glass house, broad daylight
Out of reach from the knife
That cuts deep but leaves no mark
Out there in the dark
He was the Quarterback and Prom King
With a full ride to UT
Then the towers, they fell
And he volunteered to go to hell
They shipped him of to war
Where the knife it hacked and tore
At his mind and his soul
He never did make it back whole
Well he barely survived
And he made it back Alive
But at home he couldn't cope
And the V.A. they gave him that dope
Now Thorazine and Klonopin
Make sure he'll never feel again
And he lives on the streets
That you cross so your paths don't meet
Lock them up and toss the key
They're just junkies
You're safe behind your lies
And your willful blind eye
In your glass house, broad daylight
Out of reach from the knife
That cuts deep but leaves no mark
Out there in the dark
