Emily Jane White
Body Against the Gun
I brace the wind
As I walk, broken
For I lived in light so dim
With those who sang assailing hymns
Razor thin, won’t touch me again
I’m at the edge of the limb
I am too young for a choice made by me
Body against the gun, cold hands all around me
The light is dim, the disempower shows
How do you atone for all you know
It happens every day
Her will is taken away
And so you flee to a different state where it’s legal to operate
And so you flee to a different state where it’s legal to operate
It happens every day
Her will is taken away
I am too young for a choice made by me
Body against the gun, cold hands all around me
And so you flee to a different state where it’s legal to operate
And so you flee to a different state where it’s legal to operate
