Lyrics

Denial

Lyrics & Melody - Caren L. Tackett
Music - Franchot Tone & Thai Long Ly

Where do you expect
To go that way, it's slow that way
And what is it you finally got through
Now that the day is done

Aren't you getting tired
Of having to defend yourself, befriend yourself
You say 'I only give my love to the few I feel it from.'

What a broad statement
You don't even see
The irony of your words

You're the type who'd sit in silence
And claim there's nothing to be heard
Nothing to be heard

Chorus: Is that denial (4x)

Staring at the windowsill
Hoping something will materialize
But afraid to try and figure out
Which road to take

Got beyond that fear
Of how it'd look to fault in someone else's eyes
Now I don't judge my failure
By the mistakes I make

What a road to nowhere
I didn't start living until I asked the question
What a waste of time, I thought
For up until then, it was self-prevention

Chorus:

Now we're int he desert wild
Not a sound for Miles
But your brow is set like
All you hear are screams inside

I sure wish you'd elect to hear
My perspective, dear
For I see someone magical
If not a little shy

Do you need a mother
To open up a world
Brand new for you to see

In your second childhood
I'll be all that I can
And then know that you can be
What you want to be, yeah

Chorus:

END
