Home
There is a girl, afraid of her own home
Abused and accused,
She’s ready to get away from it all
She’s a victim, living in the room next to them
Abused and accused,
Jittery as she puts her things in the suitcase beside her
She’s a victim, living in the room next to them
Tears spring to her eyes when thinking of repressed memories.
Jittery as she puts her things in the suitcase beside her
Feeling paranoid that they’ll see her
Tears spring to her eyes when thinking of repressed memories
Take one last look and slip away
Feeling paranoid that they’ll see her
Down the stairs and over the bottles
Take one last look and slip away
Into the dawn.
Down the stairs and over the bottles,
She’s ready to get away from it all
Into the dawn.
There is a girl, afraid of her own home.
