One - Alyssa Marie

Just give me one, that’s fine

You’ll see what I become, tell 'em one last time (Give me one)

I put blood, sweat, tears and focus

I put time in these years unnoticed

All I need is just one and I’ll be okay

Look at where I’m coming from, but I’ll find my own way

Just give me somewhere to begin and the rest will come

I know that all I ever needed was one

Just give me one more song to tell the world that I’m ready make my entrance

Make amends to serve these days in a sentence of labored penance

For the wasted days I’ve spent placed on vacant bench

On the road to fate and redemption but couldn’t fake independence

I paid a debt of attention with two cents and the change that I mentioned

But never made expenses I left unpaid

I was settling, used, confused nerves and adrenaline purpose and meddling

But the difference surfaced while peddling

Up a hill that I rather be coasting down

While the rest of them go around it I found that it’s sweeter knowing these

grounds

That I’m holding, I’ve trekked alone that I’ve earned it

That I deserve what I have that I never road someone’s back when my soul was

hurting

It’s that that molds the person I’ve become

The reason that I could never hold these verses on my tongue

If you’re waiting for the day I say my work in this is done

You can hold your breath until it’s bursting out your lungs

Just give me one more verse, 16 bars to explain the story

From pain to the glory days in the name of who came before me

Carry on the tradition, live for the sake of poorly

Executed visions, pleading my case til I face the jury

And if at the end the judge is screaming guilty

I’ll still be fine, I’ll do the time for it knowing the people feel me

No appeal and no excuses.

innocence is subjective and allusive

Know my place please don’t correct me if I lose it

Cause it’s never set it stone.

'Til the metronome stops

When that last letters written and my beds a chrome box

(no) it’s not over til the record goes quiet

When the stethoscope is silent on my chest so don’t watch

If you need the resolution I’m forever refusing

To cross any finish line til I find a better conclusion

But know second I do… set another goal to reach

Cause contentment’ll only stunt the growth I seek

Just give me one more word before my lips are wired shut

If you could put a price on time you still could never buy enough

So I’ll settle for a syllable and hope that echo stings

If I was given one word I’d say peace and let it ring
