lyrics

Not long after she’s born, they tossed her aside. By an old metal wire to a tree she was tied. But then someone came by so sweet and so kind, pulled the twine out her neck and then saved her life. They’ll run on and say they’ll save by and by, but a shelter that kills ain’t shelter by define. So they packed up and moved up to the east side with friends by her side to start a new life.

He CUT HER DOWN, cut her down. His demons unwound. He cut her down, cut her down, that terrible sound. Cut her down, cut her down, down to the ground in that little blue house in that old mill town.

It wasn’t his fault, he was brought up to cut—to turn like a switch, and not stop ‘till he’s done—in a world run by people that you couldn’t trust except Jack, your friend, and the two of us. It hurts he took someone so smart and so strong. She’d watch from afar, but be there all along. But with a switch of his brain, he shattered that bond. And now we’re all left to mourn that she’s gone...

They went on about the options, but there was none to decide except to sit, ask more questions, bowing our heads to cry. How the hell can you tell your own babies goodbye? You can’t put that on us, we’d do anything to try.

When we turned the door, I first noticed how quiet our lives had become—but it’s still loud inside. I’ll never forget that look in her eyes. I hope that somewhere she’s still living her life...
