LYRIC FOR SALE

By Isla Harris

You pull on a leather
As you strut out on the stage
You swagger in expensive boots,
Your neck heavy with chains
You smile down at a wide-eyed girl
Do you know you’ve made her day?
And you give your soul for the next three hours
Even in the pouring rain

Adoring eyes look up to you
You are their promised land
And in return you give all of yourself,
For them, you’ll be that man
But in the quiet still of the aftermath
When they have all gone home
They’ll wrap their arms around their loved ones
While you lay in a cold bed alone

I want to pull you up
Out of the darkness of your mind
I want to put my arms around you
And drive your demons blind
You are the heart that beats within me
The sun that warms my day
And I wish that I could tell you but
You won’t hear the words I say


Now between the lines of this love song
And just between you and me
I am the very reason
I’m what has made you be
I’ve put you on that pedestal
High up where we can’t see
You are that golden badass Rockstar
You sacrificed yourself for me.

You pull on a leather
As you walk out on the stage
You swagger in expensive boots,
Your neck heavy with chains
You smile down at a wide-eyed girl
Do you know you’ve made her day?
And you give your soul for the next three hours
Even in the pouring rain
