Dangerous Waters - Adestria

In the beginning it was only what he would drink, until she told him she was

going to leave

Yet she forgave him every time;

refused to judge him for his crime!

(Just run away!) Run away from those that hold you down!

(That hold you down)

The longer you tread these waters, the more likely you will drown

So find a way, find a way to shed these burdens that you’ve kept

You can’t expect to move on, until you take the first step!

Time only made things worse

The violence more commonly occurred

Long sleeves in 100 degrees

Glasses hide the eyes she doesn’t want to be seen

Like brush strokes up her wrist, scars paint the tale of when she tried to

leave it all behind

She had no more to give

Every night spent with him was another night she might not survive

She had to go, she realized he wasn’t worth the bruises and black eyes

She packed her bags and took her keys from the drawer, as he walked through the

front door

(Just run away!) Run away from those that hold you down!

(That hold you down)

The longer you tread these waters, the more likely you will drown

So find a way, find a way to shed these burdens that you’ve kept

You can’t expect to move on, until you take the first step!

He saw her bags were packed, when he came home

He rushed at her, she ran for the phone

He lost his mind, she feared for her life, he reached for her arm and she

reached for a knife!

(Just run away!) Run away from those that hold you down!

(That hold you down)

The longer you tread these waters, the more likely you will drown

So find a way, find a way to shed these burdens that you’ve kept

You can’t expect to move on, until you take the first step!

We all, we all, we all have burdens to bear
