It's All True

Lyrics

Celia sits and beats her fists 
on the places where she wants her wings to grow
She turns and stands and draws her hands 
across the mirror when the feathers start to show
These are just some things she told me that I believe

When I was 18 I had this dream 
I knew the history of everyone who stood before me
I'd touch their sleeve and they'd beg me please 
try to help me understand the way the lord has made me
I was angry and afraid this was a choice I made I told them

CHORUS: Give me your hand and turn all the lights low
Give me the cash and I'll tell you what you should know
Why do you weep, why do you weep, I've got a story for you
every word of it is true 

Now here I sit and I beat my fists 
across the people who are laying at my feet
Your sister Jane in her pain and shame 
dragged her bed out to the middle of the street
Oh Bobby boy what ails you 
I could tell the world I failed you they'd still nail you

CHORUS: Give me your hand and turn all the lights low
Give me the cash and I'll tell you where you should go
Why do you weep, why do you weep, I've got a story for you
every word of it is true 

BR: Forgive me, forgive me but I can't walk behind you any more
Forgive me, forgive me, I'm falling towards you don't you know to


CHORUS: Give me your hand and turn all the lights low
Give me the cash and I'll tell you what you should know
Why do you weep, why do you weep, I've got a story for you
every word of it is true

Notes

I wrote this song a loooong time ago and always forget about it. I must have been in my "Am to E" phase or something, and also in my "disturbing imagery" phase, so excuse that please. I'll record and post soon.
