She was 9 when her only sister died
And mom and dad fighting all the time left her empty inside
So inside of her head she stays
And she hasn't said a single word since that day
And her parents split the same damn year
She never shed a tear when they were near
Which wasn't that much with their jobs and such
Cuz bein' too damn busy was their crutch
They never acted like they thought about her at all
And every night she went to bed she remembered the call
She remembers the name as it delivered her pain
And said her sister was dead and ready for the grave
She was afraid she'd never be the same
The rest of her life sacrificed to be barely inane
Not really insane she's just not OK
She just existed her self away
Her sister, how she missed her
Dead inside and now she withers
No glitter can fix her
No glimmer inside, dead for the rest of her life
Her sister, how she missed her
Dead inside and now she withers
No glitter can fix her
No glimmer inside, dead for the rest of her life
Haunted by the dreams and woken up by the screams
Every night she says a prayer that it's not as it seems
But God won't listen, or He's just not there
Staring off into space as she brushes her hair
Not really there but the time just races away
The braces came off, and then she graduated
Never felt like she had something to say
And her mom didn't bring her to her 2nd wedding day
She sat in her room in the gloom and decay
Painting pictures in the dark of black on grey
And black on white, and dark on light
Too scared to fight or put an end to her life
Try as she might she just couldn't be
Silent for years she lives in misery
No peace at night when she closes her eyes
She wishes that she could have said goodbye to
Her sister, how she missed her
Dead inside and now she withers
No glitter can fix her
No glimmer inside, dead for the rest of her life
Her sister, how she missed her
Dead inside and now she withers
No glitter can fix her
No glimmer inside, dead for the rest of her life
Her life passed by in the blink of an eye
Living on the street since her mother died
She doesn't know if her dad's alive
She hasn't seen him since he lost his pride
And she got set aside
She lives off the scraps that she finds in the trash
Blisters on her feet from shoes that didn't last
Looks about as ragged as she feels deep inside
Covered in the filth from the place that she resides
She can't decide how she'd like to die
A prisoner in her mind since her sister's demise
A whimper, a cry, is all she ever could speak
As she withers in the street feeling weak
People walk by her like she's just not there
The light starts to fade from her empty stare
And when her heart took it's final beat
She smiled knowing she could finally speak to
Her sister, how she missed her
Dead inside and now she withers
No glitter can fix her
No glimmer inside, dead for the rest of her life
Her sister, how she missed her
Dead inside and now she withers
No glitter can fix her
No glimmer inside, dead for the rest of her life
Her sister, how she missed her
Dead inside and now she withers
No glitter can fix her
No glimmer inside, dead for the rest of her life
Her sister, how she missed her
Dead inside and now she withers
No glitter can fix her
No glimmer inside, dead for the rest of her life
Her sister, how she missed her
Dead inside and now she withers
No glitter can fix her
No glimmer inside, dead for the rest of her life
Her sister, how she missed her
Dead inside and now she withers
No glitter can fix her
No glimmer inside, dead for the rest of her life
