Suspended Disbelief

Lyrical selections from the Church Benches and Rain

If I... Would You...

If I were in trouble
would you buy me some time
If I were drowning
would you throw me a line
or laugh
as the waves close over my head

If I were afraid
and needed some place safe
If I knocked on your door
would you slam it in my face
telling me
to just fuck off and die

You'd never treat a dog this way
but you seem to love kicking me
Are you just waiting for the day
I beg for mercy at your feet

If I were bleeding out my life
face down on the ground
would you lift a finger to save me
or would you simply walk around
trying
not to stain your pretty shoes
