Badlands from Teenage Mentality by Miss Kari

Badlands

By: Miss Kari

(Verse 1)

A lost and lonely soul,
She’s lost her self control,
She’s running in a field,
In a battlefield, and oh,
She’s screaming, she’s crying,
To make it out alive,
But the monsters,
Run among her.

She’s looking for a break,
How much more of this she’ll take?
As she steps into a world,
Of bitterness and hate.
Her whole world is upside down,
Trying live without a frown.
She’s no longer,
God’s wonder.

(PreChorus)

Then,
She tries.
Gets up,
And flies.
But her wings,
Fragile little things,
They break.
Oh, they break.

(Chorus)

She was never one to,
Cop an attitude.
But lately,
She does it so well.
And she knows of this by,
Heart,
She’ll never miss out on,
The opportunity,
To live in her own hell.

(Verse 2)

So then she takes a ride,
To soothe her ugly side.
She takes a mental break,
She knows she’s gotta hide.
Her pain, her tears, she won’t show,
But only God, yeah, he knows,
The pain will never stop,
Until the day she drops.

They are unaware,
Of what hides under there.
She’s too brave to show,
The scars under her hair.
She’s no longer faking,
She’s half a mile from breaking,
They don’t understand,
She lives in the badlands.

(PreChorus)

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

And her life,
Flashed before her eyes,
As they slowly die,
Will she make it out alive?
Her own mind,
Likes to lie.
Maybe soon she’ll fly,
Up in the sky...
