Saying a prayer, a saving grace
Opens up your heart to a whole new place
It’s a feeling, an emotion that gets evoked
Like a word or a line that you wish you’d wrote
See me now I’m sitting here in this place
That you left me in, a dungeon that’s caving in
Where you opened up this whole new world
It’s filled with sticks and it’s filled with stones
You took a portrait, a painting and you carved out walls
That made no sense, that had no light, it’s just a void
It blinding, it’s deafening, it’s straight up hell
But you saw me and you took it and you made a fit
You had dreams, you had wishes
But you had a foetus and you had a choice
Now I’m stuck in your nightmare
And I’m living this life and I have no choice.

In The Blink of Her Eye
Time itself bent and morphed, allowing Shannon the precious seconds needed to see and adjust to the disaster unfolding in front of her. Each frame showed minute details she would have missed had the clock not slowed down until she heard every click of the hands as they swept toward the end of everything. If only she was being melodramatic...
