SEWER WATER

Written by Emma Louise Woods 4/1/03

Seldom I’m away from home

Have no one to call my own

Reaching out to hold you tight

Though your body’s out of sight

My head rests upon my hands

Knowing you won’t understand

Bloody knuckles a craving hunger

In denial to why I shudder

Great companions left me here to die

Second glances left me here to cry

Sitting in the old drain pipe

Cannot seem to find the light

Rats running all around me

My self-pity made me see

How much greed I used to know

Left me once I lost my home

Bloody knuckles a craving hunger

In denial to why I shudder

Great companions left me here to die

Second glances left me here to cry

No where to preach alone desolate

No remedy lash out meet my fate

Sewer water now what I call home

Made me see how much I am alone

Bloody knuckles a craving hunger

In denial to why I shudder

Great companions left me here to die

Second glances left me here to cry

Bloody knuckles a craving hunger

In denial to why I shudder

Great companions left me here to die

Second glances left me here to cry

BEAUTY LIES IN OUR FLAWS

Written by Emma Louise Woods 3/1/03

I try to be pretty I try to hide my flaws

I wear so much makeup still you dig in your claws

I wanted to be you molded to perfection

But I’m not you and one day I will see

Everyone’s pretty, Everyone is beautiful

Not everyone’s ripe, they are rotten deep inside

Not everyone’s gold, for even youth must grow old

But beauty lies in our flaws

I am now beginning to see things differently

I don’t want to be you cos I love being me

Don’t you try to be them they’re masters of the false

Just remember that being you is true

Everyone’s pretty, Everyone is beautiful

Not everyone’s ripe, they are rotten deep inside

Not everyone’s gold, for even youth must grow old

But beauty lies in our flaws

We must stand our ground

This confidence we found

Will last and last and last

Everyone’s pretty, Everyone is beautiful

Not everyone’s ripe, they are rotten deep inside

Not everyone’s gold, for even youth must grow old

But beauty lies in our flaws

Everyone’s pretty, Everyone is beautiful

Not everyone’s ripe, they are rotten deep inside

Not everyone’s gold, for even youth must grow old

But beauty lies in our flaws

SORRY

Written by Emma Louise Woods 3/1/03

Sorry is the hardest word for men to say

That is why they usually throw things away

They have too much pride to admit they were wrong

Poor excuses like "she didn’t mean a thing"

There’s no way you can woo me back with a ring

The bottom line is what has been done is done

I used to love you and now I hate you

I adored you now I want to break you

I used to like you I used to need you

Now I am so glad I’m not with you

Troubles the consequence of what was once us

You used up your chance now you lost my trust

And you think women are the ones to play games

Right now I don’t care that I’m missing you

We are both better off now that we are through

I used to love you and now I hate you

I adored you now I want to break you

I used to like you I used to need you

Now I am so glad I’m not with you

I used to love you and now I hate you

I adored you now I want to break you

I used to like you I used to need you

Now I am so glad I’m not with you

I used to love you and now I hate you

I adored you now I want to break you

I used to like you I used to need you

Now I am so glad I’m not with you

I used to love you and now I hate you

I adored you now I want to break you

I used to like you I used to need you

Now I am so glad I’m not with you

MY HUMANITY

Written by Emma Louise woods 4/1/03

My bones feel like they’re made out of chalk

I feel them grind each day that I walk

How did it feel to fall out of the sky?

I know it hurt but still I ask why

This is a tragedy that has hold of me

It’s just my humanity showing its head

If I walk backwards fly around like a bee

Will I show mercy, will I show empathy?

My body hurts I have a disease

This virus has taken over me

If I leap into the waterfall

Will I die someone just let me know?

This is a tragedy that has hold of me

It’s just my humanity showing its head

If I walk backwards fly around like a bee

Will I show mercy, will I show empathy?

Because I feel am I real

I am a slave to this life

Being human I must kneel

This kingdom led by the knife

This is a tragedy that has hold of me

It’s just my humanity showing its head

If I walk backwards fly around like a bee

Will I show mercy, will I show empathy?

This is a tragedy that has hold of me

It’s just my humanity showing its head

If I walk backwards fly around like a bee

Will I show mercy, will I show empathy?
