Your need for power
Trumps the vows you spoke to me.
I stand defeated.
Dumpster diving for dreams!

Your need for power
Trumps the vows you spoke to me.
I stand defeated.

I’d rather be wrong
And have you say I’m nothing.
You ARE lovable.

Beaten by silence,
But behind that wall lives rage.
Which one wounds me most?
