Joy was her name
|
A life un-wed
|
Thirty years old
|
Never danced a step
|
She would have left these red hills far behind if not for her condition
|
'Would have left these red hills long ago if not for my condition'
|
Pitiful Joy
|
She looked away
|
Into a hollow sky
|
Came face to face
|
With her own innocence surrounding her until it never was a question
|
Innocence so suffocating, now she cannot move, no question
|
No hope for Joy
|
No hope or faith
|
She wanted to go blind
|
Wanted hope to stay
|
'I've been believing in nothing since I was born, it never was a question.
