It's in the tense stillness The quiet. The beating of my heart in my chest, So shaky and shallow. It's the fist in the air, The blood on my lip, A red river down my face. It's the shattering of a heart Of innocence, A trampled flower. It's the thought That just once I'd hit back.

Just Once
It's in the tense stillness The quiet. The beating of my heart in my chest, So shaky and shallow. It's the fist in the air, The blood on my lip, A red river down my face. It's the shattering of a heart Of innocence, A trampled flower. It's the thought That just once I'd hit back.
