You cannot hold me down here,
Your eyes stab at my back
I hold my hands out to the light,
Another memory fades away

More beautiful than a painted angel,
These porcelain masks we hide behind
Your hatred and shame hidden by pride,
A mirror of everything you once denied
Crushing my every hope with your love,
Unrelenting turmoil, your soul beyond repair

My body is still frozen,
The pain still burns inside
You held me down on a bed of glass,
And part of me has died

The mask I wear betrays my fears,
Close your eyes to the pain I feel,
I'm screaming inside
The chains that once were holding me,
Become forever my security,
My heart is weeping

The dream has died,
I sink into the dark
I see a glimmer of hope,
And yet it leaves me blind

My body is still frozen,
The pain still burns inside
You held me down on a bed of glass,
And part of me has died
