I’m scared of the dark…
No! I’m scared of Night.
For with Night comes the silence that deafens me.
As it is Night who unhinges the doors to my sanity,
Allowing those thoughts that I thought were un-thought to be thought again.

When they laughed
and called me names.
The time no one believed
and I was blamed.
That day they saw
and I was ashamed.
When I realized people are animals
and can’t be tamed.

Stop it! Stop it!
I can’t take it anymore!
As they scream to me
One by one
Two by two
All at once
A painful slue...

I feel it crawling
Just beneath the surface of my skin
Just looking for an opening
It burns

I feel like I'm always on fire
And it burns

But no one knows it
People just see the girl
But it still burns

And I can't null the flames
Hate, Anger, Misery
They are all fuel
And I bathe in their secretion
And it continues to burn

I'm hollow now
It evaporated the sugar
Cooked the spice
And left no reminisce of anything nice
Yet still it continues to burn

And so this shell goes through the motions...
