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
