Lush - The Procussions, Alice Amelia

She said

You would be high too

If you had to live the life that I do

I view it blindly before he finds me

And reminds me of why my eye droops

I’m alive cus I’m cute and see these jeans

I keep them for the men who love sex with preteens

And think I’m mute

They invest in these dreams to sink my youth

In their sweat

In their spit

See I’ve been kicked by boots

And then left with each hit to sip my truth

Alone

He said I give these girls a home

I teach them how to live in these streets

You see the love I’ve shown

It keeps the rocks lit feening the cockpit

The highlife thinking she’s my wife

When she is my profit

Just one of three in my pocket

And I’m the reason she would die

If she lied

You see my eye socket she cried

He did it with a table leg

Whips me with a cable

On the days that I’m unable to pay

It’s the eyes that betray you

They were never your best friends

Two liars with the same truth

But the touch don’t pretend

Promised something glamorous

Harnessed by a man they trust

Their arms legs and candidness are ours to take advantage of

In cars bars and random truck stops in tandem

A lush stock for any man copping with a hand of bucks

Planted in a land of Bucks they call it manning up

To call a girl who can’t stand you up

Bandaging a cut brandishing a gun

Damaged by the mannish ones

Dangerous to those to whom it grows unmanaged

It’s the sum of a cruel world

Where girls recruit girls

And leave them on the corner for the troops

Or leave them for the coroner to screw

Or the officers who knew and never told their officers the truth

The coupe once a coffin to the often lost and stranded

Moved into the offices of those we thought upstanding

Moved with all the awfulness of bliss when you caught up in the mist

Taking hits of the softness you have branded

It’s the eyes that betray you

They were never your best friends

Two liars with the same truth

But the touch don’t pretend

It’s a lush world
