Walls & Tall Shadows

Carrie was stretching out on the harbor

She was just trying to let it all go

Down came the rain and waves and thoughts of her father

down came the old black hole

Carrie, don't go down there

We all know it's not fair

even parents can lie

Carrie, don't close your eyes

and give way to the lies

that tell you you're all alone

Ruby came home from the store with a bottle

all of her dreams had been locked up inside

since she was fourteen, she'd let out the throttle

and choked out her life

Ruby, don't look that way

you could start again today

you know your real Daddy smiles and smiles

Ruby, you know it's great-

Who you are- it's not too late

Youre a child of the King

Kelly's been living under walls and tall shadows

She never lifted a finger to build

as for the sun well she can't seem to handle

that it brings to light to all she's killed

Kelly, don't look that way

it's time to come out and play

I know a safe sun to play in

Kelly, you look so frail

Like you've been in a jail

Pretty soon you will strengthen
