She lifts the cup up to her lips

And leaves reality behind

She looks away and takes a sip

She's lost what can she find

Her thoughts become weary

She feels a step behind

Her life's been slowly slippin'

Away from friends and time



CHORUS:



Mary drinks

And Mary thinks

And soon she'll lie down

Just to break down and cry

It's so degrading

She is slowly fading

Mary drinks then she'll

Break down and cry



Mary weeps then she sleeps

One more day slippin' away

She's drowning in the shallow end

The rules she can't obey

On the surface so callous

Silent screams subside

A life without a purpose

Her will has already died



CHORUS:



Mary drinks

And Mary thinks

And soon she'll lie down

Just to break down and cry

It's so degrading

She is slowly fading

Mary drinks then she'll

Break down and cry



Shadow dreaming

Can't feel a thing

Her ends they start to fray

And then she fades away

Shadow dreaming

She can't know pain

Can't feel a thing

Can't feel a thing

She can't feel a thing



Mary drinks

And Mary thinks

And soon she'll lie down

Break down and cry



CHORUS:



Mary drinks

And Mary thinks

And soon she'll lie down

Just to break down and cry

It's so degrading

She is slowly fading

Mary drinks then she'll

Break down and cry
