Sonia Dada – Dark Visions lyrics

SHE KNOWS HOW TO SUFFER
SHE KNOWS THE ENEMY
BREAKIN’ HER BACK
AIN’T NO MAN AT HOME
SHE WAS TORE UP AND DISSATISFIED
MOANING LOW AND BURIED HALF ALIVE

DARK VISIONS AND LONELINESS
DARK VISIONS AND LONELINESS
DARK VISIONS AND LONELINESS
ALL OF HER LIFE

SHE WAS MADE OLD BEFORE
BEFORE HER TIME WAS DUE
AND MY OLD MAN SPLIT
SO YOU KNOW I BARELY KNEW
THE ANGER AND FRUSTRATION
THAT NOBODY DID SEE THROUGH

THEY MET WHEN SHE WAS SEVENTEEN
A PRETTY LITTLE GIRL
FROM JUST OUTSIDE OF NEW ORLEANS
THE PRETTIEST ANGEL HE HAD EVER SEEN

DARK VISIONS AND LONELINESS
DARK VISIONS AND LONELINESS
DARK VISIONS AND LONELINESS
ALL OF HER LIFE

BY THE TIME THE BATTLELINES WERE DRAWN
MY DADDY HAD NO JOB AND I WAS BORN
IN A ONE-ROOM FIXED RENT RATHOLE
WITH GREEN PEELING PAINT
THEY WOULD FIGHT AND HER BLOOD WOULD STAIN
AND MY EARLIEST REMEMBRANCE OF MY MAMA’S PAIN
SHE’D SAY ‘SAVE ME JESUS FOR JUST ONE MORE DAY’

THEN ONE DAY HE JUST DIDN’T COME BACK
I THOUGHT HE MIGHT BE DEAD
BUT I NEVER TRIED TO TRACK HIM DOWN
OR FOLLOW IN HIS SHADOW OR THE ROAD HE’S ON

DARK VISIONS AND LONELINESS
DARK VISIONS AND LONELINESS
DARK VISIONS AND LONELINESS
ALL OF HER LIFE
