Even her worst is stunning
Beautiful when she’s crying
Hold onto every tear
They speak words you can’t hear

You start fires just to see,
How badly they will burn me.
You start fights just to see,
The color that I will bleed.
The day you left me crying on the floor
Was the day I couldn't take it anymore
I decided  was done
And finally, my life had begun

I’ve been here through the thunder
And the tears that cut through skin
Like freezing rain
And sometimes her laughs
Sound like sobs
And I’m not good enough
To tell the difference

When hell's demons took over the politicians
Nobody noticed
When black mothers cried for their children
Nobody heard
When we cried out for justice
Nobody listened
When  we were desperate for a change
Nobody provided
When the blind man asked for a penny
Nobody granted
We are the ones out for blood
And yours will do

Hell is full of the misunderstood
Innocent souls who tried to do good
Twisted into something dark
Their wrath becomes a tangible mark
Who is to help them,
When they’re already condemned?
Is there someone to help you?
What can anyone do?
Haven is full of the ****-up’s
They got in by the poison in your cup
Who is to oppose them,
When they know of your own sin?
Where can you go?
That won’t cost your soul?

Dead is dead
And gone is gone
You liked her
Because she turned
Your sadness
Into poetry
And you were so
Wrapped up in your mind
You never saw into hers
And now she is dead
And dead is dead
And now she is gone
And gone is gone
