Jump off the ledge
You would be so happy
Jump off that ledge
There’s no need to be soppy
What is life?
But an endless trail of sadness
Join me and end it’s likeness
I am happy here I………promise
Come join me in my solace
One Man's Obedience
Jump off the ledge
You would be so happy
Jump off that ledge
There’s no need to be soppy
What is life?
But an endless trail of sadness
Join me and end it’s likeness
I am happy here I………promise
Come join me in my solace
They came at night,
They told their stories in flight,
They risked it all to tell their plight.
We did not know from whence they came
And yet the truth in our stories were the same
I looked into your eyes as you lied
I beheld your smile as you tried
To clear the guilt from your face last night
There’s no need for pretense
It only makes things more tense
When I know you brought me to this mess
You were meant to protect
And yet you aimed to subject me to torment
How flawless your game was
Until you realized that I was
Not who you thought me to be.
I look out the window, with nothing left but the detail that you sold my heart out like retail.
Broken down by the words of your mouth, I blugeoned my spirit, thinking of wasted youth.
Refusing to be a token, refusing to be broken by the shards of lies that gave me midnight cries.
But I am what I am, a reflection of what life’s done. A hard but soft spoken woman, intimidated by a society that thinks I’m less than human.
For speaking of the abuse, for knowing I’m of more use than what they think I should be, than what they believed I could be.
If not for the Good News, I would’ve been broken down by their views, that I belong behind the pews.
With nothing to look at, nothing to behold but the disappointment in my soul.
