Desoto Jones Nonfiction
Long ago I used to feel
Safe beneath this imaginary shield,
Big and bright.
I stood up straight with confidence
That nothing bad could ever come inside.
The veil is off and now I see
The swollen face and crooked teeth
Of a world less divine,
A world less divine.
Back and forth like civil war,
I battle tears when thoughts of you cross
Through my mind.
This is nonfiction,
It's as real as it gets.
Oh, we'll have to learn to understand
We are not invincible and our
Salvation won't be coming this way again.
It's just our luck,
It's just our luck.
Tidal waves came crashing through
With no permission, drowning out
The chance of a smile,
The chance of a smile.
And I don't know who I'm praying to
But I'm desperate for a miracle,
I'd give all that I have.
This is nonfiction,
It's as real as it gets.
Oh, we'll have to learn to understand
We are not invincible and our
Salvation won't be coming this way again.
And I must admit I'm a nervous wreck.
The more I wonder, the worse it gets
And it's always dragging me down.
This is nonfiction,
It's as real as,
As real as it gets.
And it's forcing my heart to the floor.
And I can't seem to dream anymore.
And it's forcing my eyes to the floor.
My world has stopped and I don't feel
It will ever turn again.
This is nonfiction,
It's as real as it gets.
Oh, we'll have to learn to understand
We are not invincible and our
Salvation won't be coming this way again.
And I must admit I'm a nervous wreck.
The more I wonder, the worse it gets
And it's always dragging me down.
This is nonfiction,
It's as real as,
As real as it gets.
It's just our luck,
It's just our luck...
