She's waiting to fall apart. Blind to how bad things are. And I know now. She won't last. She's got everything. But she won't last. . Fighting herself again.
Smile and pose. Shaking hands and stealing votes. Can we all agree. Oh. Not what you said you would be. Not what you said you'd be. Not what you said you'd be.
I'm silent. In the rolling wake. Of lucky and adored. Ugly. A blur on the side. So easily ignored. . Speechless. In my screaming way. They all laugh and smile.
We want to reach you. Uncle Elijah. We wish to welcome you. Back home. We of the open mind beseech you, appear. Through this board make yourself known.
Wait. The rain will come and soon enough. To wash away all that we've loved. Here it comes. Listen. . Stop. The dialogs and the debates. Good things will come along just wait.
Take a stab for the waiting crowd.. This time we fold, as the future draws your name.. . So stay away, when you go away.. Now that its void.. Calling the drop of a sure dime,.
Space. Seems like it 's organized. Against me. But I, victim of gravity. Can fly. When you lie next to me. . I feel so strong. I feel so safe. Lost puzzle pieces.
What can I say, baby. What can I do?. I tried and failed just to fit in. . I greased the wheels. That only drove away. Always ends up the same. . I don't have much left to lose.
Another lifetime ago two people made. One solemn vow to love honor and obey. Now we got nothing but the shame. And lame excuses. . Hold me down but you won't hold me back.
Night birds scatter, the last call. Pleading, needing a house call. . Oh, 3 o'clock and Mary's still. Working late up in the hills. Bloody Mary goes. Heaven only knows.
A break in the fighting. Under desert stars. "I'll wait for you". She said. But she couldn't know. What could come home. . I stay awake and. Make no mistake I.
If light were dark and dark were light. The moon a black hole in the blaze of night. A raven's wing as bright as tinThen you, my love. Would be darker than sin.
I never knew so many bad times. Could follow me so mercilessly. It's almost surreal. All the pain that I feel. The future ain't what it used to be. . It doesn't matter what they're thinking.
No one ever said I was a gullible girl. I don't believe everything that I'm told. I've been around and I know the ropes. And I won't get fooled again.
I've been looking for an original sin. One with a twist and a bit of a spin. And since I've done all the old ones. Till they've all been done in. Now I'm just looking.
