LYRIC FOR SALE

By Alarion Melora

[Verse]
You judge every book by it's cover
Be it enemy, friend or lover
You're afraid to peek inside
See what truth the cover may hide

[Verse]
You made your mind up long ago
Open this book, don't you wanna know
You don't want me to explain
You're so sure what I contain

[Verse]
You don't really know who I am
Do you even give a damn
If you looked, you'd see the scars
A complex story not flash cards

[Chorus]
A book has a story
And this one is mine
Don't rush the reading
Won't you take your time
The story you'll find here
Will have some hard lines
But read it with care
It'll be worth the time

[Verse]
Dust jacket I wear, a disguise
It'll show I'm one of the guys
One of the guys or of the girls
Why must it be just two worlds

[Verse]
Shedding this skin that hides another
Not as simple as losing the cover
Tear off my skin like it's paper
Let you see my honest nature

[Chorus]
A book has a story
And this one is mine
Don't rush the reading
Won't you take your time
The story you'll find here
Will have some hard lines
But read it with care
It'll be worth the time

[Verse]
My lived life has never been true
Hiding from each one including you
Lying on an empty shelf all alone
Don't want to be a solitary tome

[Verse]
Interested reader is what I need
To look at the pages and closely read
If they could read each torn page
I'd not be hidden, I would engage

[Chorus]
A book has a story
And this one is mine
Don't rush the reading
Won't you take your time
The story you'll find here
Will have some hard lines
But read it with care
It'll be worth the time

[Chorus]
A book has a story
And this one is mine
Don't rush the reading
Won't you take your time
The story you'll find here
Will have some hard lines
But read it with care
It'll be worth the time
