New Song

This morning I picked up my Martin guitar and wrote this song in less than 20 minutes. It came to me in it’s completed form. I wrote it down as it arrived in my consciousness.  Virtually no words were changed. No words were scratched out. I love the superconsciousness and my brain.

Abuse

Momma’s in the middle

Poppa’s on top

All I can think about is please make this stop

I’m on the bottom

Not knowing what to do

I don’t know if I should love you

Or if I want to kill you

Refrain:

Come alive, my thunder rise

Please make me want to survive

Demons in the closet

Buring my heart

Taking years to the surface

The pain from the start

Did nothing to deserve it

I was just a kid

Wanting life to be better

Instead of what it is

 Refrain:

Come alive, my thunder rise

To make me want to survive

He thought it’d make me better

To toughen me up

Adding rights to that wrong

Is just really messed up

I had to make a decision

This wasn’t my end

I’ve had to work on forgiveness

Just for survival again

Refrain:

Come alive, my thunder rise

To teach me how to survive
