Sideways by Brooke Allyce Huntsman
This one is for those of us who consider ourselves to be survivors. We are survivors of narcissistic abuse, religious trauma, and the rise of an oligarchy, and, and, and... take your pick. It's heavy subject matter, but it feels good to get some of this weight off of my chest. Let this be your sign to go make your art. Go write your book. Go produce your album. Cope with your human experience in healthy ways. We all benefit from each other's honest art. Thanks for listening. <3

Lyrics
She's got her days and nights
Mixed up
Got her wrongs and rights
Mixed up
What is up
What is down
What was then
What is now
Our confused little Alice
Falls sideways
Falls sideways
Falls sideways
Our confused little Alice
Falls sideways
Falls sideways
Falls sideways
Or at least
So I'm told
That's what her mother says
Stone by stone
They kill a sinner
Brick by Brick
They break his bones
While chanting:
"Bodies fall
So their souls can rise again"
She's got her days and nights
Mixed up
Got her wrongs and rights
Mixed up
What is up
What is down
What was then
What is now
Our confused little Alice
Falls sideways
Falls sideways
Falls sideways
Our confused little Alice
Falls sideways
Falls sideways
Falls sideways
Or at least
So I'm told
That's what her mother says
Stone by stone
She walks the graveyard
Brick by Brick
She reads each grave
While crying:
"When I die
Throw my ashes to the wind"
Are his roses white
Or are his roses red
My daughter
Bloody Mary
Killed her husband
Now she wants yours dead
Count how many men
Her Majesty
In God's name
Slaughtered
Wars of Roses
Bring down houses
She'll cut off your head
Stone by stone
You build your mansions
Brick by brick
Though nothing lasts
Remember:
"What goes up
Will fall only to the ground"
She's got her days and nights
Mixed up
Got her wrongs and rights
Mixed up
What is up
What is down
What was then
What is now
Our confused little Alice
Falls sideways
Falls sideways
Falls sideways
Our confused little Alice
Falls sideways
Falls sideways
Falls sideways
Or at least
So I'm told
That's what her mother says
