silence and kindness
the first time I see alice she climbs a tree
she's headed east
it's not that she can't breathe
follow sister's lead
ministry rail, before the CCP
at just sixteen for proper speech
the proper teach about how to serve
a higher breed and the canyon deep
how you can never reach between us
through the power and convenience
all that I see is the difference between us
silence and kindness
some just adjust
some can't just step out of the shadow as they please
silence and kindness
you can't just step out of the shadow as you please
silence and kindness
comfortably lost in the governess shadow
and young Marie, she finds a man
his appetite and wandering hand
locks her outside after a fight
to just be quiet look for the light
when she gets in to find written
a banishment
she is all alone
she is on her own
for the first time
not the last time, that a husband, a companion
sees the difference between us
