The girl in my nightmares,
She speaks soft and low,
is always still as stone,
And passes the weeks
Who is numbing out the pain
With her tears of shame

That girl to whom I asked,
“Who is he?”
As you pulled her close

She never answered though
She was still too busy yelling,
“Get away from me”
But I knew she didn't know.

Reminds me of the nightmares
where I never see your face.
And that girl that no one knew
Because you took her to that place

The place where the light rarely shines
And the happiness is erased
And so you think,
I better keep that razor
Maybe just in case.

And that color that I saw
Was the color you saw true
When you reached into me
And tore my heart out too.
