Nonfiction

Nonfiction - Desoto Jones

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

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

It's forcing

My heart to the floor

I can't seem to dream anymore

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
