The rain pours down on this tin roof.
I love the sound, and being here with you.
I've never opened up this fast, you're reeling me in now.

And I'm not asking for all your trust, right up front.
I'm just hoping for a little bit of give, a little bit of fun.
Take it easy, take it slow, don't get too serious, but don't let me go.

I've never been so vulnerable, then with my heart on my sleeve in your embrace.
Skin to skin, sin to sin.
You're opening up and I'm letting you in.
You see me now, with open eyes. The daring look says Hold Me Tight.
Clothes hit the floor, the thunder rolls and I'm caught here under you.
Dark silhouettes of freckled skin. What a wonderful view.
I breathe you in, two short gasps, you feel it too, don't let this pass.
Lightning shows quick clips of your face, I say goodnight, say goodbye.
But I'll be back just for you, to hear the rain on this tin roof.

Losing grip on all sanity, I can hear the lies every time you breathe.
Does no one tell the truth? Is honesty not sacred?
Furthermore, if I cant trust my own blood, who can I trust?
It seems like a game of justification, nobody wins.
But we're stuck in a sick sedation.
No rules, no regulations, it's every man for themselves.
Keep watching your back, for the truth of this hell.

I don't trust a soul, no not the new or old.
I'm learning how to swallow what this world throws at me.
I'm holding on tight, never let go.
Of the hope that's lingering.
In my heart,  in my head. I'm hoping.
For a better day, better life, better way to cope with strife.

Nervous shakes, waiting by the door.
Hoping you can't see me lookin' out the window
Just one smile, a single word and you've got me wanting more.
I don't wanna rush this, just one step at a time.
But if you hadn't noticed, you're blowing my mind.

You're strong and secure. You're grown and mature.
I've never felt so safe till I was in your arms.
So natural, the way you smile at me just like I've always been yours.

My sisters tease, but they're the only ones who see, the light in my eyes when I talk about you and me.
I'm not a genius but I can tell, you and I will be something swell.

As I sat down, the phone rang. I pick it up and see a familiar face.
"Whats been going on? Dad said things we're bad, God I wish I was home."
Words of a sister, who cares more than she can handle.
She's far away, you see. Feeling helpless, but there's no way I'd ever wish her anywhere else.
There she can find peace, our home is no place for love anymore.
It's not how we remember it, it's not how it used to be.
I know you wish it was, sweetie I do too.
But this cycle didn't start, nor will it end with you.
This is the millionth time I've said this, but you just don't understand.
Our family has lost its way, but I'm praying you find yours.
I miss our long talks and chunk cheese on the couch, but this place is a cage and I'm proud that you got out.
Don't think I don't miss you, I do everyday.
You should see the smile on everyones face when we hear your name.
We laugh and tell old stories and wish you were around.
You're out protecting our country, we're more than just proud.
I'm ecstatic that you're my sister. I couldn't ask for anyone better.

You are our savior, far or near.
You don't have to be where someone is physically to help them, you taught me that.

Mango. A mango.
Mm, I love the taste.
There's nothing better than when the juice runs down my face.
Mango, sweet mango.
Better than baby ruth.
I love me some mango, to satisfy my sweet tooth.

I came home today, there was nothing left of what our family used to be.
It's been a long time coming, year after year.
It's taken every piece of my sanity.
A story in one ear, as the other screams a lie.
What do I believe, when does this die?
It's sitting in my bones, poisoning my lungs.
It's building up walls, just one more minute till I'm hung.
On a wire, from my heart. To be so taken, torn apart.
Abracadabra, alakazoo. Just say the magic words.
Don't let them know you're hurting, don't let them know it's true.
Don't let those filthy demons take control of you.
I'm going insane, I've lost my mind.
