Knee deep she lays her head
On the pillows of her lonely bed
While sleep tugs at the seams

And frays the edges of her broken dreams

And there's talk, talk, talk in a thousand places

From the voices that time erases
Stone cold she locks the door
While the shadows creep across the floor


Jennifer is that you leaving
When did you stop believing

Heaven knows your innocent ways
Have left you so confused these days


Knee deep she bites her fingers
While the memory of pain still lingers
With hope so far behind

Another drink would surely clear the mind

But there's talk, talk, talk in the darkest places

From the voices that time erases
While doubt shorts out the wires
Where here conscious and fears conspire


Jennifer who will you trust
To clear away the could of dust

Life's just a battle and no one has won
Jennifer put down the gun
