lyrics

It’s not the assault itself,
it’s something else
it’s King David on the throne eating cake all by himself

While I’m out here without help
you’re sitting back in the sunbelt
While I go through hell, no way to tell, if this will end well

It’s not like you left, or laid a hand
It’s more like Joab --
all the others stepped back at your command,

It’s not what happened then, it’s all that’s in between
It’s all the years, you made it clear, you’re not on my team.

In the light of day, is where I’ll choose to stay
Where I cannot pretend things have ever been
any other way

You offered me a room
in that dark house with you
Your shelter is a shadow, a room without a view

I’d live there, but I don’t think I’d make it through
It takes a lot of energy to blind yourself to the truth

You erase the past that is
Blind to all consequences,
And then hold white knuckle tight to your precious pretenses

You told my sister in a fit:
“He just needs to get over this”
So this is me getting over this,
this is me getting over you.

In the light of day, is where I’ll choose to stay
where I cannot pretend things have ever been
any other way

Wish I’d seen some reaction
Some sadness in your eyes
When you found out what happened

You say you don’t like him because
he reminds you of someone
An old boss that mistreated you once
No use in listing the reasons
you don’t like my eldest cousin
When you could just say
that bastard raped both my sons.

But you’re bound by blood

In the light of day, is where I’ll choose to stay
Is where I’ll choose to stay, is where I’ll choose to stay.
