In the night she slept

In the day she dreamt

Hiding away from the feelings that crept

Shove them in rooms

And turn off the light

Starve them of food 

And simple delights

Listen from a distance through a locked door

As they beg and beg and beg for more

More of the cries and more of the screams

And more of the pain that seeps from your seams
