She Rex

Once I had a friend
Every night we'd make amends
High on a mountain peak
Pacified, hung in defeat while she was laughing
Home from the money tree
She would yell, 'Come follow me.'
With evil in her eye
Wear a dress, her one disguise and she would tell me

Don't stray away from what you are,
You'll cut so deep to leave a scar.

Once we got along
Like two birds we'd sing our song
Lay our precious bones
On a bed of jagged stones and call it a home
Endless summer roads
Never mind what we were told
To ride that mountain high
Her and I we'd get so low that we'd be screaming

Don't stray away from what you are,
You'll cut so deep to leave a scar.

She says I'm on trail for the words I'm preaching now
But I've got a hard time trusting you and your opinion
Mercy, save your precious smile

Once we had a friend
We survived to see the end
The coldest love in vain
She went out, she changed her name, it got nasty

Don't stray away from what you are,
You'll cut so deep to leave a scar.
