Her Turn – 7:46pm, June 12, 2001

Aww, such a silly waste, when people with beautiful smiles endure shitty days
Her pretty face used to reflect her inner grace, but now embraced a trace of hate for life’s bitter taste.
She’s in a daze, but still amazed at the many different ways her hope’s been erased.
Life handed her lemons; she’s a bit afraid that she’ll never be in the mood for lemonade.
Though it’s a breathtaking evening. The sun and moon exchanging greetings.
The sun said “goodnight moon”, even though he’d just woken up from the sun’s point of view.
It was purely sickening. Why wasn’t the world around her even listening?
If she could just set fire to it all, the world would match the way she sees it now.
She learned to pretend that the serpent was friend
And wrote angry letters, but couldn’t determine which version to send
Not the kind of sermon that Thomas Merton would pen,
But the version the vermin deserve to be read
She’s a person who tends to get hurt by her friends
And not want to work it out when it could certainly mend
She prefers it to end, rather than curve or just bend
She wants the perfect revenge before her curtains descend.

She’s got her thumb in sight, walking highway number 5
She wants to bum a ride to take her to the other side
Lord no need to forgive her. Just please deliver
Someone to pick her up as a hitcher and turn out to be a psychopathic killer
But, she can’t wait for God’s magic, in which she doesn’t believe
She doesn’t care if she’s there, if she even gets the prestige.

Pick a car any car, then watch very carefully
As she takes out the hurt on herself, instead of on therapy
And she imagines that he’s reading the note that she left this evening
And receiving the meaning of her leaving them grieving
She pictures him crying while explaining her dying thoughts
And nobody ever forgiving him, even though he keeps trying lots.
Within this comfortable setting she walked in front of the semi
And died instantly, hoping that his trouble gets heavy
But she will never get to find out that her death was in vain
But from the moon’s point of view at least she looked happy again.

When they found her, they said it looked like an accident
It must have been an accident, had to have been an accident
Nobody that passionate about life would ever abandon it
Must have been an accident… they didn’t know the half of it.
