D is for Denial

In a dimly lit room you see her stripped down to the truth…
Playing songs on a string less guitar that reminds her of her youth…
She sings “A is for apple and B is for balloon and C is what you don’t really wanna do… and D is for denial cause you can’t believe someone would steal her dignity”…

Take your beer to the other room where the game’s about to start…
But you’re haunted by the melody pouring from her heart…
She sings “A is for anger, B is for black and blue and C is what you don’t really wanna do… and D is for denial cause you can’t believe someone would steal her dignity”…

CHORUS:
You gotta take a look around… Open up your eyes… See the women hiding in the June Cleaver disguise…
You know you can’t just turn back… No you can’t stand still… You know you gotta stay and fight cause no one ever will…

There’s a shelter behind the church where battered women stay…
See her kids playing on the street when you go to work each day…
They sing “A is apple and B is for balloon and C is what you don’t really wanna do and D is for denial cause you can’t believe someone would steal their dignity”…

CHORUS

You gotta take a look around… Open up your eyes… Long after the pain is gone, the pain still survives…
You know you can’t just turn back… No you can’t stand still… You know you gotta stay and fight cause no one ever will……
