Dead Girl Lyrics

A girl walking home was found dead down by the water

The same age as me with just as much as dreams, now they're gone

I'm scared for my life on a regular basis

I look for the signs in the smiling faces of men I don't know

And men that I do

They tell you that you can never be too safe

Hold my keys in my knuckles just in case

Keep my will on the windowsill in my room

Am I just a headline waiting to happen?

A crumpled up paper, a moment's distraction

A notification from CNN news, deleted with practiced detachment

Oh God, when she's gone

Do you care at all?

Oh God, when I'm gone, will you even notice?

They're killing all the girls and we're used to it

Tell me I could be next, I get used to it

They're killing all the girls and we're used to it

Tell me I could be next, I get used to it

A girl that I know was followed home on the subway

A few steps behind, undressed her with his eyes

While she ran

They'll tell you that she was asking for it

If she liked living, shouldn't have worn it

You're responsible for men's self-control

Am I just a headline waiting to happen?

A crumpled up paper, a moment's distraction

A notification from CNN news, deleted with practiced detachment

Oh God, when she's gone

Do you care at all?

Oh God, when I'm gone, will you even notice?

They're killing all the girls and we're used to it

Tell me I could be next, I get used to it

They're killing all the girls and we're used to it

Tell me I could be next, I get used to it

Jesus Christ and his holy eyes watched him steal my innocence

A trauma response, a suicide watch

I wanna jump out of my skin

Am I just a headline waiting to happen?

A crumpled up paper, a moment's distraction

A notification from CNN news, deleted with practiced detachment
