Music and lyrics by Brenda Earle Stokes

lyrics

The never ending battle
Shutting off the light
Fighting off the voices
Never feeling right

No place she can run to
No where she can hide
The voices coming with her
On this bumpy ride

The letters on the pages
The pages in a book
Piling up around her
So fast she cannot look

She can’t find an answer
No matter how she tries
Staring at their faces
Weeding through their lies

Everyone has noticed
They don’t know what to say
They want to see her different
They have to look away
What could have happened?
What has gone so wrong?
No one wants to help you
When you don’t belong.

Her world is getting smaller
Her world is getting dark
She won’t leave her apartment
Her choices getting stark
She’s too afraid to listen
She’s shut everyone out
Her demons are around her
Tearing her apart.
