“Earthless
By Raine Maida

Earthless

I know this girl, as pretty as can be
Sign of Aquarius, she was born on the 18th
UFOs, snakes and spiders give her the creeps
She's got a half-life, a half-smile, and lives in semi-luxury
Questions God, drugs, and bullets, and the high school beauty queen
She's couragious but scared to death, but that's what courage means
She's lookin' for some courage
She feels faithless, she feels earthless
She wants to run
She's strugglin' for purpose
I tell her hang on because it's worth it
You've just begun
