One More

On the outside she looks so peaceful

With her eyes shut tight against all evil

And her shoulders drop like a failed messiah

And all her fears rejoice inside her

So she rolls out into the sunlight

And her daddy tells her she'll be alright

But he don't look at her and he don't smile

He whispers a prayer to ease his mind

When she gets home no one says a word

Her mama's cryin' doesn't notice her

She turns the lock on the bedroom door

She finds the answer and takes one more

And one more and one more and one more
