There are screams
Echoing from a distance...
Rise, rise, to face another day.
I don't quite see the point in it...
You walk the streets
Late at night...
When I was younger,
I learnt the lesson well...
I close my eyes
And think about...
You open the door
And I step inside...
Will he give me the time of day?
Will he listen to the things I say...
Would I be doing you injustice
If I fell pregnant again...
Strolling down the walks of life,
I grow weary...
Cut off my ears
Burn out my eyes...
Standing up here,
Staring out at the restless ocean...
I'd rather die
Than continue to do this...
