[00:08.17]It flew out your mouth, "you can drive me anywhere- just drive me anywhere but here."

[00:21.04]Tonight, the length of your neck is a lonely parapet;
[00:30.56]You are armed to the teeth and looking for a fight.

[00:38.94]It was in your mother's dress that the temper showed signs of slowing down.
[00:51.38]Your fingers traced the route of the seam
(Like a map of your body that landed just shy of your knees).

[01:08.72]It fell the same way on your mother- as she was, at that age, the same height as you.
[01:23.32]She never faced a fear quite as sharp, but her sister did and it broke her heart

[01:36.22]What came out your mouth next was a series of mistakes-
[01:44.43]You had taken all you could take, and here tonight,
[01:51.02]The weight of their stares, well they could bury you alive.
[01:58.89]You are worn to the bone, and looking to disappear.
[02:07.75]And who could blame you?

[02:37.16]It was in your mother's dress that the temper finally died out,
[02:47.50]And gave way to the fear that keeps its company with such a loud mouth!
[02:55.42](Like the sound of an earthquake tearing out terra firma's mouth).

[03:07.28]You must not let it in, and keep your head up on top of your body.
[03:18.29]There are far, far worse things than this,
[03:25.31]So we must move with purpose and do what has to be done.
