White dress, wedding gown
now heading downtown
second thoughts, too late.
Two jobs, feel spent
struggling to pay rent
abused by her husband.
And they say
he always hits her daily
even more so lately
been that way since eighteen
and lately her face seems
sunken in and bony
looking more than gloomy
and she screams
the worst things in life are dear to us
yes I love him with all I have
even though he treats me bad
but I don't want to go home tonight
if I go home he could **** me
beat me unmercifully
yes I'm to scared inside
to go home tonight
to go home tonight.
Torn shirt, black eye
beaten till she wants to die
curled up, long cry.
Drunk night, comes home
she finally grabs the phone
cops come, now alone.
And they say
he always hit her daily
even more so lately
been that way since eighteen
and lately her face seems
sunken in and bony
looking more than gloomy
and she screams
the worst things in life are dear to us
yes I love him with all I have
even though he treats me bad
but I don't want to go home tonight.
If I go home he could **** me
beat me unmercifully
yes I'm to scared inside
to go home tonight
but I go home tonight
dressed in white
teary eyed
ready for a better life
for the first time, I feel safe tonight
ready for this new life.
And they say
she smiles more lately
since he went away
been that way since that night
and lately her face seems
brighter and less weary
looking lots more cheery
and she screams
the worst thing in my life is gone from me
yes I loved him with all I had
but now he's gone and I feel so glad
now I'm not scared inside
to go home tonight
to go home tonight.

Take a look at yourself
what do you see
is this the person
you'd imagined you'd be
sunken eyes from sleepless nights
bitterness you hide inside
you try to hide your pain
push away your problems
just to feel ashamed
ashamed to hide from yourself
and ashamed to admit
you were wrong.

Another day
has passed me by
the sun has set
the moon did rise.
I look above
at the moon so bright
and dream of love
of Mrs. Right.

Frantic beating
from my heart
hyperventilation starts
mind races
body numbs
head pounding
like erratic drums
an anxious fit
won't go away
with me forever
it's home to stay.

Believe in yourself
take hold of the wheel
let loose your emotions
feel feel feel.
Let out that sadness
you hold deep inside
and let your happiness
rise and climb.
Don't let others
put you down
be who you are
and be it proud.

Everyone plays a part in the game of life
some are meant to succeed and thrive
while many are starving and struggling to survive.

This game has top tier people who rule the rest
while there is people on the bottom rung just trying their best
there is people like you and me and if food's on the table we feel quite blessed.

The people on the top control most of the cash
while those down below struggle to even make a splash
even if given an opportunity it's gone in a flash.

To the greedy, the overly wealthy, the top tier class
I have something to say while it maybe rash
you can kiss my poor, lower class, white, American ***.

Hold my hand, don't let it go
walk with me forever.
Stay with me as we grow old
our love will never sever.

It seems like forever since I've felt the way I do
heart beats skipping with just the thought of you.
I feel like I'm in love but it's too soon to know
but every moment spent with you
just makes these feelings grow.

She lies there oblivious to her surroundings
the only thing she knows is hurt.
She has yet to have felt the best emotion of all
Love.
She is swimming in grief and pain
but yet she won't let it show to others.
She lies there oblivious to her surroundings
while she slides the hot steel knife
deep into her skin.
The bite of the metal calms her
relaxes her.
She does this to force her pain elsewhere
but all it does is show the wounds
no one thought was there.
