Shattered and Tall
Cris Valkyria
You, you stood there you took the stones, you took the strokes, you took the stares.
You, you stood there you took the punches, took the kicks, you took the swear words
You stood tall
You took it all

And I kept throwing stones
I kicked you lying down
You stood tall
You took it all




You stood there you took the blame lifted the burden wore the shame
you stood there
with your fear


With your shattered spine
You lifted it above my eyes
So I couldn’t see
The misery

You stood there you stood tall above us all
You stood there on your sinking ship, now, you stood tall
You stood there your little body standing tall
You stood there in all your pain you didn’t fall


And I kept throwing stones
I kicked you lying down
You stood tall
You stood tall
You stood tall You stood tall

I don’t believe in magic
I don’t believe in romance
I don’t believe in love at first glance

I don’t believe in magic
I don’t believe in fate
I don’t believe in believing life doesn’t work that way

But I believe in science
And I believe in truth
And I believe that me and you got chemistry
chemistry, chemistry and the physicists are fate and destiny

I don’t believe in magic
I don’t believe in pure chance
I don’t believe in predetermination
Or in pretentious ambience

But I believe in science
And I believe in truth
And I believe that me and you got chemistry
chemistry, chemistry and the physicists are fate and destiny

I don’t believe in magic
Although science makes mystique
I don’t believe in chance and fate although I’ve been swept off my feet

So I believe that science
And I believe that truth
Are stating facts like me and you got chemistry
chemistry, chemistry and the physicists are fate and destiny
Chemistry, chemistry, chemistry
