You're Just An Empty Cage

I Usually Get Myself Into Situations That Cause Sparks. I Mean I'm A Girl That Likes The Storms. I Love Feeling Alive, I Love Walking Out In The Cold In My Bare Feet And Feeling The Ice On My Toes.

I Am Finding That Vulnerability Gives Me Great Strength, Because You're Not Hiding Anymore. It's Really About Being A Pioneer For Myself, Going Into The Places Where I Am Not Being Taught. I Have To Teach Myself.

If All I Can Say Is I'm Not In This Swamp, I'm Not In This Swamp Then There Is Not A Rope In Front Of Me And There Is Not An Alligator Behind Me And There Is Not A Girl Sitting At The Edge Eating A Hot Dog And If I Believe That, Then Dying Would Be The Only Answer Because Then Death Couldn't Come And Say Peachy To Me Anymore And After All She Has A Brother Who Believes In Hope.

Some People Are Afraid Of What They Might Find If They Try To Analyze Themselves Too Much, But You Have To Crawl Into Your Wounds To Discover Where Your Fears Are. Once The Bleeding Starts, The Cleansing Can Begin.

For Many Years, I Shut Down That Place Inside Myself That Needed To Rage, Cry, Ask Questions And Basically Just Express Herself. I Made A Conscious Choice When I Put (the Song) 'me And A Gun' On The Record Not To Stay A Victim Anymore.
