Alibi

The words don't fit Between my truth and a memory The ache trails off leaving me aimless The silence sits Between the truth and my memory The sting wears off leaving me restless I step back and disengage my mind Let this be and just step to the side Just step to the side And its a narrow line That I live behind I'm waiting for a way to get it right And its a far cry From a white lie I'm waiting for a way to make it right These teeth grip To the truth and my memory The marks melt away leaving vacancy These sore lips Tell my truth and a memory The stain fades away leaving agency I step back and rearrange my mind Leave this be and see the other side Just see the other side And it's a narrow line That I live behind I'm looking for a way to get it right And it's a far cry From a white lie I'm looking for a way to make it right All these years of living my life Between hunger and loosing my fire I choose the other side And it's a narrow line That I live behind But i'm finding my way to get it right And it's a far cry From a white lie But i'm finding my way to make it right And it's a narrow line That I lived behind But I'm finding my way to get it right And it's a far cry From a white lie But I'm finding my way to get it right
