Closed-door
Four walls
Why was I the one to lose it all?
If he had killed me
Would you finally believe me?
The darkness seeping through his fingers
Forever trapped in that moment, the feelings still linger

He should be surrounded by four walls
Instead I’m trapped in my mind
The walls too tall to climb
Learned my body was never really mine
The monsters in my room are realer than they seem
They’ve come to **** the girl who never became queen
They never stop coming after me

Anxiety attacks
The world is black
I wanna dance in the sun
I wanna run

By calling the truth a tall tale
You let this monster prevail  
Try to be strong like the girls in the magazines
But I admit it’s so hard for me
Never feel safe
Can’t even remember his face
It’s just a horrifying void
That’s come to consume me whole
To take what’s left of my soul

She’s so hard to find
The girl I left behind
Been too long
Presumed dead
Wish he killed me instead
Wrinkled fingers in the tub
Never feel clean no matter how hard I scrub
My mind doesn’t deceive me
Why don’t you believe me

He should be surrounded by four walls
Instead I’m trapped in my mind
The walls too tall to climb
Learned my body was never really mine
The monsters in my room are realer than they seem
They’ve come to **** the girl who never became queen
They never stop coming after me
