Arlissa

Arlissa had a dream once She had a dream, they say dreams come true But what you supposed to do when your skies ain't blue? When you've seen a lot of pain but you're only 32 When she was 22, she met a guy that was an artist An artist in the sense that he would paint a lot of pictures Charming in demeanour, see his presence was appealing But she was pessimistic 'cause they always end up leaving The last guy broke her in a couple different ways But listen to the story as the pen fills the page See, he was 28, and he was well established Real outstanding contribution to the arts Winning over hearts one painting at a time Ex was in the picture, tryna leave it all behind He wanted something different, they just really wanna align You can't fight connection, that's the way it was designed See, Danny took a liking to this woman named Arlissa He followed her on Instagram, they started liking pictures They started talking then he asked her out for dinner Arlissa got the steak, it was killer She was excited and aware of who he was She was so intrigued, so she asked him what he does He told her that he paints, acting like she didn't know So as it seems, they was getting close Stone Your hands are cold I'll keep them close No place like home When it's falling around you Cold You turn to stone Nobody knows How much you owe When it's falling around you Arlissa had a dream once She had a dream, then the dream came true Or so it seemed, see these scenes ain't new But Danny seemed keen, that's a dream made true Truly she was someone he could vent to They never got dessert 'cause there was nothing on the menu They got the bill and then they headed out the venue But what I'm 'bout to tell you might offend you Don't let the devil tempt you The evening started coming to a close Danny had this look upon his face and it was rogue They started talking, they was walking down the road It was by the riverside and it was cold The temperature was low Arlissa knew that something wasn't right But was she overthinking? Intuition never lies He held her hand, they headed off into the night He whispered in her ear, "Me and you are so alike" He stopped, and then he came a little closer He turned the girl around, that's when she started getting colder Nervous as he spoke, the thing is Danny wasn't sober Desperate, she was calling on Jehovah, it's over What's about to happen was the thing that really changed her No one was around, but she could feel she was in danger He chose to play the devil when he should've been her saviour 'Cause Danny took advantage and he raped her Stone Your hands are cold I'll keep them close No place like home When it's falling around you Cold You turn to stone Nobody knows How much you owe When it's falling around you This song is dedicated to the victims of sexual assault all around the world May you find peace Oh why? It's the same, it's the same every time Oh why? Let the stain, let the pain in your eye Oh why? It's the shame, it's the way that you cry Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, oh
