When a man comes in and takes what he wants without asking, it=s rape
When that man is the biggest one in the room
when he is supposed to count more than anyone
it adds a certain special feel to the theft
hell even if it ain=t him doing the taking
even if he just sits reading in the corner sweating
wondering what to do
when he=s supposed to be the one to save you
or the one who sends people in to do what he should do
it=s sad when you need saving at all
but he=s just sitting
shooting the shit with friends
pretending that nothings wrong
until it=s too late
you have to ask you self
what am I really worth...
You came rolling in slow and easy
sexy with those big sounds I got used to a long time ago
those familiar grumbles that means a party=s about to happen
someone=s gonna call and let me know where to head
I took it as just another stroll in the park but you packed
so much strength in that one two punch it knocked me back 50 years
and I stood there
hoping, that , there was something left to see
I stood there in shock
then climbed up to the roof top
to watch my life just float on by
I was left there wading through the emptiness
I walked slow side stepping everything I knew
I waded through such deep dark waters
and hoped nothing else was sneaking up
I lost touch
because of you
I kept thinking... This ain=t my home
This ain=t my heart
this ain=t the land I thought I knew
this is all foreign
and it=s because of you
You swooped right in like the devil after my soul
and swirled your breath like a hot coughing cloud
with thunder in your back ground
looking like the big bad wolf was gonna blow my house down
and you did
you blew it over
then sent me away
like you knew better
like I wasn=t worthy, and hell maybe I ain=t
The bible says 40 days and 40 nights
and honestly that feels about right
if you take the time to multiply
but you did take your time
yeah you got yours
and I=m glad I got another chance at mine
even though I can=t cry anymore.....
I can=t feel a thing
I turned it all off
when they let that levy break
I know, I know.....
Who says what=s right
I know
now
not that I knew it when I saw you
not that I know any better
sept
I ain=t there no more
and it ain=t a choice I made
it was made for me
when it all got stole away
with that big slap when you turned your head
I found my way out
sloughing through the alleys
stalking my way back in to me
I searched my way up stream
when those waters came
And I ain=t ever going back
I ain=t never going back
it ain=t because everybody says
it=s the right thing to do
It=s cause I know better now
I lived it and learned it
I learnt it from you!
