ODDs and Even SOs

ODDS AND EVEN SOS
by Eleventyseven


No one ever seems to understand her 
I don't think that her parents even planned her 
And everywhere she goes she feels rejected 
Miscommunication is expected 

She's crying for direction 
Lost in her reflection 
All the while pretending she's alive 
She's trying not to show it 
But everybody knows it 
Something is just killing her inside

Like a recall on your television screen 
She was someone you would never want to see 
And things never worked out the way 
She planned every drop of blood she had is on your hands

[chorus]

Maybe someday soon when she's alone 
She'll decide to take a life that's not her own 
Lying on the ground beside her gun 
Never knowing she's not the only one 
All she ever needed was a voice 
Telling her that she could make a different choice 
Now is not the time cause it's too late 
What good is God doing you when he is only faith?

[chorus] 




I love this song.  It speaks to me.  "Lost in her reflection"...  Yup.  Like it was written for those of us with desperation behind our eyes and steel and starvation in our ribs.
