In Parentheses lyrics

State of pain like mercury
Hearing pink illusions
Gorgeous at 85, older at 23

I drink the water out of time
I said has anybody seen the whirlpool floating in my mind
I said has anybody seen
This is the low that I could find

I'm on solitary sand and
I've been stepped on by a man
But I've stood taller than I am
In parentheses
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/charlotte_martin/in_parentheses.html ]
Beauty queens are very shy
More than lash than meets your eye
So she jumps then wants to fly
It¹s too late now I'm in denial

I'll get medieval on boy-bands
I said is anybody listening
The way life makes the nice girls fast
I said is anybody listening
It isn't just unlucky chance

And I'm on solitary sand
And I've had bullshit from a man
But found exactly who I am

I'll never be the vision of a girl who can write poetry
I'll never be the little black dress we¹ve seen on natalie b.
I'll never be 5'10", I'm barely 5'3"
