The Refusal Blues

(Verse 1) I called for help, heart in hand, Hoping for someone to understand. But the silence echoed, loud and clear, Leaving me alone to face my fear. (Pre-Chorus) Is it a wall or just a door, That keeps me longing, wanting more? Could be a lesson, could be pride, Or maybe it’s just fate that hides. (Chorus) Why is the answer standing still? Is it a choice or just the will? I’m reaching out, but here I stand, With the refusal blues in a lonesome land. (Verse 2) Maybe they’re tangled in their own storm, Trying to find a place that’s warm. Or maybe it’s me, I need to see, The strength that’s always been inside of me. (Pre-Chorus) What if this push is what I need, To plant my roots and sow the seed? A bitter pill, but one I’ll take, To turn the tides of what’s at stake. (Chorus) Why is the answer standing still? Is it a choice or just the will? I’m reaching out, but here I stand, With the refusal blues in a lonesome land. (Bridge) Refusal cuts like a double-edged knife, Is it love or strife, the story of life? Maybe this pain, it’s making me whole, Carving a path straight to my soul. (Chorus) Why is the answer standing still? Is it a choice or just the will? I’m reaching out, but here I stand, With the refusal blues in a lonesome land. (Outro) So I’ll walk on, find my way, Through the night and into the day. Thanks for the lesson, for what I’ve found, Even refusals can turn us around.
