Kate’s Song

This is the story of a young girl who said
Her life was too long
She was growing old too fast
She was so weary, she can’t hold up her head.

Young in her twenties
Things happened too fast
She lost her childhood
At the age of one and a half
She can’t remember what her daddy said

She can’t remember her own voice

Sometimes

Too many broken hearts
They’ve rotted her brain
She’s at the point she trusts no one
She’s living in vain
A kiss on the lips is dangerous

To her

Anyone who tells her that they love her
They lie

Turning to injustice
Against the law
It heals her heart
It doesn’t make her feel small

She can hold a gun and be in power

Then pull the trigger

She’s growing too old.
Way too fast.

She closes her eyes against the world
It threatens to bear down on her
It threatens to kill what’s left…

Of this mess she calls herself.

A new start is coming her way
She’s packing her bags
She’s boarding a plane

With a U.S. Marshal.

Turbulence will be her unlikely victory
He hits his face
He begins to bleed

Oxygen masks, they’re flying down.

All around.

And her plane plummets toward the ground…
An island’s ground.

A new start is coming her way
She’s packing her bags
She’s boarding a plane.

This was the story of a young girl who said
Her life was too long
She was growing old too fast
She was so weary, she can’t hold up her head.
