You cannot hold me down here
Your eyes stab at my back
I hold my hands out to the light
Another memory fades away
More beautiful than a painted angel
These porcelain masks we hide behind
Your hatred and shame hidden by pride
A mirror of everything you once denied
Crushing my every hope with your love
Unrelenting turmoil, your soul beyond repair
My body is still frozen
The pain still burns inside
You held me down on a bed of gla**
And part of me has died
The mask I wear betrays my fears
Close your eyes to the pain I feel
I'm screaming inside
The chains that once were holding me
Become forever my security
My heart is weeping
The dream has died
I sink into the dark
I see a glimmer of hope
And yet it leaves me blind
My body is still frozen
The pain still burns inside
You held me down on a bed of gla**
And part of me has died
