It Will Not Lead You Far (a song for Jazzy),Chrissy Garcia

Somewhere in your bones You can find the words
Smothered in fantasies
Comforting lies
Leave an imprint
Upon your skin
Call them back to war
Like a sunflower
You smile and ignore
The spreading dark
I have tried to burn
The books of fairytales that have
Smeared my way.


Well, the late night stories
Built my dreams
Bring the pillars down so I may see
The imprisoned in between
A clear blue sky
Will not tempt me
I've hit the concrete
And now I am free
And walk on my own.



Onward to the brink
Of choice and fate
Where justice won't come
To stand and fight
Meaningless phrase
You speak of courage
But will not take the blame
Call them back to war
Like a sunflower
You smile and ignore
The spreading dark.



Well, the late night stories
Built my dreams
Bring the pillars down so I may see
The imprisoned in between
A clear blue sky
Will not tempt me
I've hit the concrete
And now I am free
And walk on my own
I won't settle down.


I won't settle down
Don't hush my thoughts.



Camouflage with the veil
Of shadows that is draped
Over what you thought
Was the only way.
