These feet have carried me as far as I will go
Across the field to where the wind had ceased to blow
That day, when sorrow filled the air and all the blackbirds scattered everywhere
And you had gone as far as you would go
In my reflection, you are staring back at me
My eyes are mirrors of the dreams you used to see
But now I'm fumbling in the dark, where all the memories are far apart
And there I lost the forest for the trees
In the gloaming of the day
The words are darkening away
Take another look
There's no more pages in this book
The epilogue was written in the dirt
The story's at an end
It's time to put away my pen
And join the you by the earth
There was a tremble in the marrow of my bones
Distorted and contorted like a worn out megaphone
And through the bellow and the bluster, I was shaking, I was flustered
With a body full of star-crossed chromosomes
And through the clatter there emerged a single voice
A familiar sound I hadn't heard since I was just a boy
And all at once my fears were lifted as the echoes slowly drifted
To the center of the amplifying void
And I followed like a child, so carefree and so wild
[Chorus]
Well there's music everywhere
The voices carry through the air
But I'm not listening

![Josh Woodward: Bully (Official Video)
This is my 10th anniversary entry for the weekly songwriting competition at SongFight.org.
Starting in November, 2003 and going for a couple years, I did a SongFight entry every week or two, and wrote a lot of what became my Here Today, Crawford Street and Sunny Side of the Street albums.

Bully dont walk away, and leave me here
The feeling of loneliness is worse than fear
You can cut me down to make you tall
You can throw me up against the wall
But please dont walk away before I fall
Bully dont leave me now, Im on my own
Theres nobody here but you, Im all alone
You can call me names, and take my pride
You can leave me hanging, crucified
But please dont walk away before I die
And I, I dont even know why
I sold my self respect, to buy a lie
Bully, just love me
Bully, just shove me
I wanna feel something true
If no one else will listen, then
It might as well be you
On the road of life Ive walked, without a friend
When the hard times come I break, before I bend
I dont need your love, respect or grace
You can laugh or put me in my place
But please dont walk away without a trace
[Chorus]
I can plainly see the sadness in your eyes
Like a mirror when Im staring into mine
Would you open up and let me in,
Would you let me see beneath your skin
I promise I wont run at what I find
Bully, just love me
Bully, just shove me
Bully, handcuff me
Hover above me
Bully, just touch me
Bully, just clutch me
Gently or, roughly
Make me feel something Josh Woodward: Bully (Official Video)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/NI18UrCkBEk/mqdefault.jpg)
