Old Friends
Yes, ma'am, we're sorry, but we're sure that your daughter
Went out and caught a ride to party for a while
Twice now she's arrested, for narcotic possession
If we kept track of her she'd probably go straight to jail
And the weight was coming down
Shoulders that were not built to support a force
That tried to erase her
He was not what you thought when you got in the car
And he asked you how far you would go with him to pay
Don't cry and don't fight it - just try to keep it quiet
The uniform implies he has a gun to hide mistakes
Her life with bars, and long rides with men in cars
Dismissive of their gaze / you're in danger if you don't obey
There is nothing that she wanted more
Than to feel them break - her rage hot and pure
But they could not stand it, they could not stand it
She reprimanded and then they preyed
A piece of, the puzzle, that they silenced with muzzles
The highway took her to a place so far away
Don't cry and don't fight it - just try to keep it quiet
The uniform implies he has an alibi
She was just one body - anthologized abruptly
A case that can't grow cold is one that's unbelieved
We'll scream and we'll fight it, make sure that we aren't silent
Her name will carry on and we will make them pay.
