It’s not for them to say

(Christopher Van Name)

Roe vs. Wade. Politicians and their puppets have no say in what a woman does with her body. It’s not for them to say. It’s her choice.

On a dirty floor
Behind closed doors
She lost her soul
But that was long ago

And the choices 
That she made back when
Were hers alone 
She knew that then
Some things never change

And no matter
What they do or say
She knows it will always be that way
They can’t take that away from her
She’ll never change
Why should she?

It’s not for them to say
It never was
It never will be
Who are they?

So they hide behind
Their robes and closed doors
And make their laws 
They tell her times have changed
But it’s not their choice
It never was
It never will be

And they don’t know
Since that day she swore
She wouldn’t take it anymore
Times have changed
Now she has a voice
It’s not for them to say
Who the hell are they?

It’s not for them to say
It never was
It never will be
Who are they?

Times have changed 
It’s her choice
It’s not for them to say 
It’s not for them to say

Home Alone

By Rowan Wilton

This song is from the perspective of an ambitious house bound individual who is daydreaming of fulfilling their heart’s wildest desires while enjoying earthly comforts. Though our protagonist has been wronged on many accounts by many past tormentors, there is an overwhelming sensation of bliss captured in the words, and newfound motivation brought forth from the careful contemplation in isolation.

Matters of the Heart

By Brian Hendrix

This one just popped into my head while I was trying to get to sleep. It shares a similar title with other songs, but the lyrics here are totally unique. I like the premise of it and how it turned out. Could fit into multiple genres, depending on any type of arrangement one wanted to put to it.

She never plays fair

By Howard Aronson

This lyric could be about a relationship, or just a friendship where the person doesn't care that you're caught in a web so to speak. Time and time again they let you down, but you keep going back for more. They find it amusing that you do, and they turn up the heat and do it even more. Basically they don't care at all, and think it's funny that you try so hard and they have total control over you. This happens all too often in relationship and friendships. That's because people are so consumed with themselves, it's so selfish that they take whatever they can get from a friendship or a relationship and just keep on going without reciprocating.
