(Words are my defense
Words are my therapy
Words are my weapon
Words are my plea bargain.)
Words are my Prayer
I need to
I need to walk a little further,
Get those power ballad chords
out of my head
I need to lean back
And feel your arm there
And for you to sing me to sleep
Until horrible demons have run
to where they hide
I need your delicate fingers
To trace soothing patterns down the scars
on my heart
(I know you can’t bring back what’s been lost
I don’t want it anyway
But you can bring something new)
If you try to fill
The hole inside me
It’ll wear you out
I just need you to stand on the
edge of that gaping wound
And plant a flower
Let’s forget my past
Let’s start anew
Start something that’ll last
Something with you.
