Jars of purple hair dye lined your shelf With dull eye pencils, pigments meant to reinvent yourself You découpaged the walls and hung up branches sprayed with gold Finding ways to make shit shine, the life left in what's old Your shine was just too much for that mean town You'd try to give 'em sparkle, but they'd only knock you down And when they left you bludgeoned, bruised, and battered on the tracks You knew it wasn't in you to grow hard and give it back You knew yourself in a way I never have I drown in drops of water before I draw the bath No sooner would you swim to shore and an earthquake split the sand But you'd claw your way through rubble to my door To ask me how I'd been There were times when it was hard to be your friend And even flames of friendship need some fanning now and then A phoenix needs some embers left to rise from like the sun And an alley cat can only gamble nine times 'til she's done You knew yourself in a way I never have I drown in drops of water before I draw the bath No sooner would you swim to shore and an earthquake split the sand But you'd claw your way through rubble to my door To ask me how I'd been So I guess that what I'm saying 's I'm not mad 'Least not with you, how could I be with all the hurt you've had? I wish that I could muster something more than a cliché But your shine was just too much for me to capture on a page You knew yourself in a way I never have I drown in drops of water before I draw the bath No sooner would you swim to shore and an earthquake split the sand But you'd claw your way through rubble to my door To ask me how I'd been
