City Girl
II. The Missing Pages
[Intro]
You don't have to
Keep on turning
Back and forth
Don't miss this chapter

If you keep on skipping pages
This life just might pass you faster
Take a look and you will see
This isn't how it's meant to be
Don't waste your time erasing time
You can't escape your memories

So choose to grow for you should know
The past is but a lesson learned
And there's no way for to you to stray
If that next page you never turn

[Verse 1]
My story is yet to be finished
So many characters not yet introduced
Don't know if we'll ever have peace
But at least we can speak of a truce

For the time being, vile heathen
With my mind eating every inch of my sanity
I left my pride by the vanity
Barely know family, oh the humanity
How did the distance between us become so far?
Tell me how to mend these scars
Too sub-par to be better than we are
When we don't know how to take our feet from the tar

Many weeks in the dark
Meek speech from the heart
Knee deep in the start
Of a full blown war

But what are the sides and why do we divide?
I'm sick of collusion and lies I want to see truth
Not reproof in your eyes
Prefer to deter the attention
I don't want remembrance whenever I die

Just know that my soul is with Yahweh
I need that loves that's agape
Play the support like I'm Sasuke
I did not come to deceive I'm here to repair and relieve

A product of what I believe
To others it's stories and legends
Not meant to be true
It's sad to just watch
As they choose to be cropped
Out the picture
Whenever they're meant to be new
I need to start focusing more on the life that is after
To everyone who gets a copy
I hope you see Jesus in every chapter
I owe it to Him

[Verse 2]
I couldn't tell you what page
That I'm on at this point in time
It's irrelevant
As long as my goals are ahead of it
Avoiding the cold and malevolent

Came out of my shell for a couple of years
Slowly crept right back inside of it
Siding with my darkest side, it's hypnotic
I try to revise and just end up colliding with

All of the shame, and the guilt, and the pain
I keep telling myself I've already been claimed
And redeemed by The Slain
As He eases my strain
I remember I'm more than a bane

If you're listening know that I hope
That you're feeling the same
Don't let this depression defeat you
It wants to decrease you
Oh so deceitful
Don't let it eat you alive
You are more than the speech you provide
You are more than the weakness inside
You are so much more than meets the eye
You are more, don't believe the lies

You are more

You are more

Amor
