about

written in Altona, Victoria, this is a song that reflects on the different stages of a woman's life.

lyrics

LYRICS
Cruel 16 magazines of promises your life seems like a strange dream
Cruel 21 the crazy parties throws gives you fear of what is to come
Cruel 36 alone in your room of tricks natures started her wicked tricks
Cruel 44 you start to ask is this all there is, could there be any more

More than this, is this all there is
You count the years, the stupid tears, regrets and crazy fears
In your eyes, 100 tales of who are and wanted to be, a crazy double vision of your doubt
Its so real, the doubt, the doubt you feel
All these women in a room, what do you have? The end is just the past. It's just the past.

Cruel 55 you tried to do as much as you could while your fantasy is alive
Cruel 62 your bodies become a well worked map for all the things you’e tried to do
Cruel 73 its clear to you, who you are and all the things you failed to be
Cruel 88 the cold white walls of the nursing home, hope reflect the wait

For is this all, all there is
After all these years and failed careers regrets and stupid fears
In your eyes 100 tears
Of who you are and wanted to be, cruel and crazy story of your doubt
It's so real, the doubt, the doubt you feel.
All these stories in a room, what do you have? The end is just our past.
