| SHE'S
SLEEPING I can hear the silent cries of my soul at night Wishing change would come So I could take flight Nature of a woman I cannot define A definition of me can only come from my mind Seasons strange, babies came and I am not to blame Control of the heavens by creating the stars Born to shoot, but really how far? Look at my reflection Who do you see? I am a woman that lives and bleeds Focus is a virtue, liberty is a statue Land of the free, and home to my mother I'm walking in the shadows of my fathers and brother No force could rest with this fate Femme fatale, blessed as the bait You took it, hook, line and sinker In the heat of passion I became the thinker I tinkered with boys toys And took a moment to understand Why I was born a woman, and he was born a man Do you ever wonder what it's like to be me? Don't trip I'm not talking simple sexuality I am walking in the shadows of shadows But the light is coming soon... Dimmed dawns, loves lost I yawn, gender holocaust Tired of the role I'm crying because she's dying But don't bother to console I can tolerate the ups and downs from love to hate Through dark alleys I walk at night alone Sometimes lonely but mostly at home Street lamps like a mother's embrace I can feel her touch, can't remember her face She cries in silence A moment from time capsules of ages past I recognize with these eyes that I am not the first |
Nor will I be
the last Innocent, smelled
on the breath of an infant I look back, I
look back, and again I look back |
