She's Not Afraid To Die

She's not afraid to die
God knows she's been practicing for years
Behind her black lipstick smile
She hides what she fears
 
She says, "I just want to be different"
"Just like them"
So ashamed of what she used to be
Way back then
 
And I try not to laugh
When she says
Take me as I am
Or not at all
Do you think she understands
Who she wants to be
Really wants to be
 
She's not afraid to die
She knows how to dress for the part
Black clothes, blue skin, black makeup
It's her alternative art

A nice little pop song about how self-professed nonconformists are often just conforming to a different brand of conformity. Or something like that.
 
I've always liked Mike's drumming on this song. There are some cool little tom fills here and there.
