Coraline

She wears her hair in matted dutch braids Nearly every day She soaks her soul in a bottle of gin Uses it like medicine She taps on the glass five times a day To keep the bad spirits away That's not the girl I remember She's just a shadow of the person I knew She let the fear have an inch And it took a mile or two Whoa Coraline You could never fight back your words Whoa Coraline Never afraid to be heard Now the sound of your silence Chills me to the bone Sweet Coraline Where did you go Where did you go Curtains are always drawn closed and tight The sun shining in feels like blades in her eyes She was given a choice by the man that she loved She chose the wrong one again to no one's surprise That was the day he was taken away A switch has been flipped now the wrong way But that's not the girl I remember She was strong in her circle of friends But the power he had over her sense of self That's what smothered her spark in the end Whoa Coraline I hope you can re-spark the flame Whoa Coraline I still think of your laughter when I hear your name But now the sound of your silence Chills me to the Bone Sweet Coraline Where did you go Where did you go That's not the girl I remember She's just a shadow of the person I knew She let the fear have an inch And it took a mile or two Whoa Coraline You could never fight back your words Whoa Coraline Never afraid to be heard Now the sound of your silence Chills me to the bone Sweet Coraline Whoooooa Where did you go Where did you go Sweet Coraline Oh no
