Well...

I haven't been posting much writing here for various reasons, but my sister's taken to her guitar quite well and I decided she needed a lyricist. Here's my first attempt at a song.
Well you were like rock and roll
with some blues in your soul
and a fire in your step
burning me with every stride
You played the savior
But you burned me baby
not with the fire you stole
just your need for control
So you broke me when you couldn't bend me
tried to build a cage of lies
just half ***ed illusions
and shattered alibis.
But I am not under control
I am the sand slipping through your fingers
the glass crushed beneath your feet
broken, yeah, but nothing left to injure
A portrait left incomplete
So you broke me when you couldn't bend me
tried to build a cage of lies
just half ***ed illusions
and shattered alibis.
But I am not under control
Your eyes like opiates
Straight through my veins
there is never enough
and I never complain
I'm not giving in
just walking away
