House of Tourment

Cage of silence in this haunted room Words like vicious daggers cut too Soon I reached for freedom in the midnight Gloom But I fall back down in this cursed cocoon Tales of torment etched upon my skin Marks of sorrow where dreams grow thin Eyes are darkened windows to the sin A life of shadows where light can't begin Oh, mother why did you treat me that way In the house of torment, I couldn't stay Locked in lies where truth doesn't pay A life of shadows where light can't begin Oh, mother why did you treat me that way In the house of torment, I couldn't stay Locked in lies where truth doesn't pay Oh, mother I just wanted to get away Every escape attempt a tragic fall Caught in the web of your brutal call Lies I crafted built this towering wall Truth could never breathe down that Poisoned hall I covered wounds inflicted by her too Forced into silence that nobody knew Every bruise became a hidden clue In your twisted world where lies grew Oh, mother why did you treat me that way In the house of torment, I couldn't stay Locked in lies where truth doesn't pay A life of shadows where light can't begin Oh, mother why did you treat me that way In the house of torment, I couldn't stay Locked in lies where truth doesn't pay Oh, mother I just wanted to get away.
