songs in the night - 001


[photo: sarah moon]

I make up
The reasons why they always go
If I said
Them out loud I’m sure they would say no
Find the blame
In myself, in my face, in these shoes
So lame
How I blame everybody
But you

Tell me why they fight so hard
To get into your heart
And then leave in the silence
Tell me why they fight so hard
To get into your heart
And then leave you with violence

Took me down
To the floor beneath the lowest one
Figure out
Why I never reach the bottom
I let go
Should be used to a life on my own
Saving up
Putting coins in my pockets of hope

Tell me why they fight so hard
To get into your heart
And then leave in the silence
Tell me why they fight so hard
To get into your heart
And then leave you with violence

this is a song for the
ones who are hunted by despair
this is a song for the
girls without flowers in their hair
this is a song for the
little ones who grew up too fast
this is a song for the
dreamers set free from their past
praying the night won’t last
