Revenge

Michelle Laurie (a radio host) in Brisbane where I live sais if you hate someone so much you become there prisoner. Vengence is a heavy and un-necessary burdon to carry around. It is painful to let it go, but not as painful as keeping it.

 

Revenge

 

Locked in a venomous chamber

Unable to escape

You’re the one with the problem

I’m not allowed to erase

 

For the sense of the feeling

Of loosing, not winning

The ego left behind

Is blinding you to the fear I have

Without you in my sight

 

And who knows you knew

It’s not something I’d choose to do

It’s past now and you can’t change that

 

Revenge is a horrible thing

It can make you look down

It can make you fall in

Revenge is a horrible word

It can take up you’re world

It can take you away…. from me

 

You duck and weave in you’re bed

Right in front of me

You’re a prisoner in your enemies head

But you just won’t see

 

For when you’re given the key

And you push past me with that hatred in you’re eyes

I know you’re possessed

And you just won’t rest till you see somebody die

 

And who knows you knew

It’s not something I’d choose to do

It’s past now and you can’t change that

 

Revenge is a horrible thing

It can make you look down

It can make you fall in

Revenge is a horrible word

It can take up you’re world

It can take you away to another world far away from me

And who knows you know, grudges that you can’t outgrow

And I can’t hold on if you can’t let go!

 

Revenge is a horrible thing

It can make you look down

It can make you fall in

Revenge is a horrible word

It can take up you’re world

It can take you away…. from me

Author's Note

Another one of my many songs written predominantly for female vocalists. I wrote this ballad when I was worried about a friend of mine.
