Story Behind The Song

This was a true story that happened to me with a good friend named Jennifer.

Song Description

A song about an attempted suicide by a young woman who, even though she has it all, feels she has nothing and is unable to escape her depression. The inner sorrow she feels leads to an attempted suicide and the lyric is directed at her trying to reassure her she's needed.

Lyrics

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
