Song Oct. 9 2021

By Asa Montreaux 

We’re further apart because it’s me

You can’t seem to read

I already know what it is

You can trust me 

Every thought is accessible to me

Everything you’re feeling I can feel

If I want to

You’re not alone inside, you don’t have to tell me,

I already know

There’s always another place, if you always live the same

We need you to be mutable,

We need to be able to trust you,

To live up to a higher standard,

So you have more to say and the better you behave,

Would you be someone we want,

Are you sure we want someone?

Are you sure they told you could come?

Or would it save your life to never leave?

They made it sound better than could be true,

And maybe you’re running from nothing now,

Freedom was all around you,

Did someone want to take that from you.

There’s no lawlessness here,

Though there is corruption,

There is misbehaviour,

There is danger

You’re not alone inside, you don’t have to tell me,

I already know

I could tell you what’s right before you leave

If you turn around, and stay right there,

And take care of the place you are.
