"teen queen"

so you think you've got all the answers
in your sixteen-year-old head
sharpened words flung like knives
nothing to learn from me, you said
heart gone dark with faith long dead
shadow people follow you and yet
I'm the one who's misled
misled

nothing wrong with what I do
just accept me as I am
eye to eye, I'm all grown up
but you're too old to understand
with false honesty I seize command
add a low-cut hisrt, a little sleight of hand
and I'm lying to every man
any man

and she sleeps
with a killer's mask beside her bed
but she's fine
at least that's what her mother says
and she's proud
to fight for the least that she can be
and he smiles
here's your crown
teen queen

sure, she's had some problems but
she's got it all under control
she doesn't need to listen
cuz hey, there's nothing she doesn't know
a pretty, pretty puppet in his show
trolling for stangers to fill this hole
oh, she'll only lose her soul
just her soul

and she sleeps
with a killer's mask beside her bed
but she's fine
at least that's what her mother says
a willing pawn
in a game that she can never win
and he smiles
here's your crown
teen queen

and I pray
He'll save her from this darkest embrace
but for now
she just cares about saving face
so she sleeps
and a killer's kisses fill her dreams
and he smiles
here's your crown
teen queen
