Penance

Hey girl, why are you trembling.

Come in, get out of the pouring rain.

Your prince has come to save you.

And to take you on a journey.

Where all your troubles fade.

Wanna be your Knight in shining armor.

I wear my heart out on my sleeve.

I’m here to tell you that I love you. Don’t you turn away and leave.

Her parents named her penance. That’s what she thinks and feels.

Buried deep inside the sorrow.

Still so afraid of how it feels.

It’s colder now, even in the sun. Lost just beyond the shadows. Frantic and on the run.

Skies are bleeding rage.

Through clouds of shame.

Reaching for the light but blinded by the pain.

She wanders through love like it’s a minefield. Still can’t find a way to escape.

It’s colder now, even in the sun. Lost beyond the shadows. Frantic on going on the run.

Skies are bleeding rage through joy and shame.

Reaching for the light but blinded by the pain.

Her parents named her penance. That’s how she thinks and feels.
