The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Day

Dance Hall Crashers, "Flyin'" from Lockjaw (Rude Boy Mike Papa Whiskey)

Skammentary: You matter, even if you think you don't. Your life matters.
"Try to tell her what I see
And how I think her mind's
Dyin' slowly day by day,
But she only smiles and turns away,
Doesn't wanna have to justify herself to anyone,
Why do people nag her when she's only
Tryin' to have some fun
Flyin' up towards the sun?

"She don't want anybody to be there for her,
She don't want anything from anybody,
She don't want anybody to be there for her,
She don't want anything from anybody…

"Years went by and still
She claimed to be in control,
Try to grab her on the way down,
I missed her hand and had to watch her drown,
Even at the end her eyes were open,
But she couldn't see
The beauty of the world or at least
What she had meant to me,
Why did she fly away?…"
