Placebo

She pours a drink

Takes off her rings

For the night

Even playing field for the fight

She starts to sink

Seduced by the brink

Endows him with the Midas touch

His love, it makes her worth so much

She can't locate the source of the bleeding

It's a long way, too late to come clean and

This pain feels a little like healing

When the glass is done, when the morning comes, when he's had his fun

She's back to zero

My fallen hero

It was just a placebo

Just a placebo, oh

Just a placebo

Now the relics of her despair

Are a damage she can't repair

Just a placebo

Resolute, her life just ain't fair

Oh no

That's the paradox of her prayer

She skims the pages

Chasing validation

Like a right

Fiction flying truth like a kite

It's one for the ages

Her fantasy rages

Inherited idolatry

Just trace the etymology

She can't locate the source of the bleeding

It's a long way, too late to come clean and

This pain feels a little like healing

When the glass is done, when the morning comes, when he's had his fun

She's back to zero

My fallen hero

It was just a placebo

Just a placebo, oh

Just a placebo

Now the relics of her despair

Are a damage she can't repair

Just a placebo

Resolute, her life just ain't fair

Oh no

That's the paradox of her prayer
