TRAPDOOR - 2nd Draft - 1

VERSE (1)

People watched me dance in the moonlight
Alone afraid in a time of the she’ll be right
I fell in love with Harry, beamed with delight
Fear this tiny dancer, she’ll overcome your spite
Tears and misty eyes, skies no longer bright,
Blue, scared to talk and too tired to fight
You whispered a solemn oath to me,
Blind love, love never meaning to be!

CHOROUS

Little girl will you ever learn?
How to crash without the burn?
Wanting love is not a crime
But life is not a nursery rhyme
What the hell are you crying for?
Get down on your knees and pray some more
Cause these tears only lead to a trap door
You seek what you need down the trapdoor
You battle, you bleed, always wanting more
Of the deep, dark despair down the trapdoor


VERSE (2)

I can’t see what they are looking at
Baby’s incognito in her Vinnies hat,
I would of walk miles for a jack pack
So what the hell are they looking at!
I've been let down, by an alley cat
She skanks on leather where I once sat
You broke your solemn oath to me,
Harry please take me from this reality

VERSE (3)

In a motel palace I can never leave
How much I missed just being free
The depth of what they meant to me
No crazy mentality, strained sensibility
Just me alone, face in the ocean's breeze
Praying for strength, fighting to breathe
You broke your solemn oath to me,
Battered and bruised but finally free!
