Nonfiction

Long ago i used to feel safe beneath this imaginary shield, big and bright
I stood up straight with confidence that nothing bad could ever come inside.
the veil is off and now i see the swollen face and crooked teeth of a world
less divine
Back and forth like civil war, i battle tears when thoughts of you cross
through my mind
This is nonfiction, it’s as real as it gets. oh we’ll have to learn to
understand we are not invincible and our salvation won’t be coming this way
again
It’s just our luck
Tidal waves came crashing through with no permission, drowning out the chance
of a smile. and i don’t know who i’m praying to but i’m desperate for a miracle,
i’d give all that i have. this is nonfiction, it’s as real as it gets.
oh we’ll have to learn to understand we are not invincible and our salvation
won’t be coming this way again
And i must admit i’m a nervous wreck. the more i wonder the worse it gets and
it’s always dragging me down
This is nonfiction, it’s as real as it gets. it’s forcing my heart to the floor
I can’t seem to dream anymore
It’s forcing my eyes to the floor
My world has stopped and i don’t feel it will ever turn again
This is nonfiction, it’s as real as it gets. oh we’ll have to learn to
understand we are not invincible and our salvation won’t be coming this way
again
And i must admit i’m a nervous wreck. the more i wonder the worse it gets and
it’s always dragging me down
This is nonfiction, it’s as real as it gets. it’s just our luck
