...THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...) THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...) THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...) THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE...
LAYLA'S WORLD
BEING IRRELEVANT BITS AND RELEVANT PIECES OF LETTERS FROM LAYLA,
WHO DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT WHAT YOU THINK UNLESS YOU'RE REAL AND COOOL
she sits in a window
looking for a way out
depression finds her
filling her with fear and doubt
she doesn't mean to hurt anyone
but her healing is far from done
she never was allowed to have fun
her mother wanted a son
so she lives in the run
her baggage weighs a ton
she carries a gun
and her journey has just begun
she's not good enough
she needs to be better
she won't grow soft and warm
her mother won't let her
listen to your mother
she will make you strong
she'll make you understand
this is your song...
she stands at a bus stop
looking for a way in
obsession finds her
filling her with need to win
she doesn't mean to hurt anyone
she just wants to get ahead
she was never allowed to have fun
she was taught competition instead
her mother wanted a son
especially in bed
she carries a gun
and all her lights are red
you're not good enough
you need to be stronger
I won't put up with you
for very much longer
you have no heart
you're evil and wrong
I'll make you understand
this is your song...
she sits in a jail cell
not looking anymore
content in her small hell
safe walls around her floor
she doesn't mean to hurt anyone
she just wants to be left alone
she was never allowed to have fun
she learned to survive on her own
her mother wanted a son
that's all she's ever known
her heart is a gun
she doesn't need a phone
no one to call
nobody cares
just time to fall
down the stairs
you're finally home
you're where you belong
you'll never be weak
you had to be strong
there is a fine line
between right and wrong
now you understand
this is your song
Son
