Kate Reid: Music
Cry
(Kate Reid)
I don’t remember her a whole lot, she was like a vacant parking lot
And his words and actions tore through me like wildfire on a prairie
In my dreams I walk down that dark hall and on the walls are the bodies
Of generations of women in my family, some are still alive but they’re dead inside
Chorus:
I use words to fill up space
To fill up the emptiness inside me
But there are no words for when I’ve got to cry
I’ve just have to open my mouth and cry
I come from a long line of secrecy, lies and shame
And I never had any words to name it until now
I want to run away from the truth of where I came from
And I can feel it in my bones, sometimes I feel like it owns me
Chorus:
I use words to fill up space
To fill up the emptiness inside me
But there are no words for when I’ve got to cry
I’ve just have to open my mouth and cry
-break-
And when I get in my car there sometimes I want to keep on driving
I’m like a flower in the desert with a strong will to keep surviving
Chorus:
And I use words
To fill up space
To fill up the emptiness
But there are no words for when I’ve got to cry
I’ve just got to open my mouth and cry
