Cantata Of The Red Rock Shadow By Donna Snyder

Originally By: Damien Rice.

Lyrics:

Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be thinking of you
It's the wrong time
For somebody new
It's a small crime
And I've got no excuse

Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright?
If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright
With you?

Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be cheating on you
It's the wrong time
She's pulling me through
It's a small crime
And I've got no excuse

Is that alright?
I give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright?
If you don't shoot it, how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright?
I give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright
Is that alright with you?

Is that alright?
I give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright?
If you don't shoot it, how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright?
If I give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright
Is that alright with you?

Is that alright?
Is that alright?
Is that alright with you?

No...

Can’t You Tell

longdrivetou

am I scary? or is it just easier to leave?
ordinary? It's not easy to be me, it's bittersweet, truly.
it's in my head, isn't it? have I felt this way before?
I don't understand, it won't fit. Can't say I love you anymore.
it's uncalled for. I hit the floor.

can't you hear me?
won't you feel me?
don't you leave me.
your silence is deafening.

kisses on my skin leave permanent bruises, they hurt,
but so does love, it's not enough, oh no.
I'll listen yet, even if it breaks my bones or the words wear me out, you wear me out.
I'm a let-down, come now.
