Always Midnight

Down the hole through walls of brick and bone Past the words that go deeper than sticks and stones Is a room where I am carved into a bed And it is always midnight in head On the bed I am covered with scars Some are red and soft, others are old and hard In the room is a mirror I can't escape It whispers, oh, the horror of my fate In the mirror I see a frightened face With eyes that are swollen out of place Filled with dark dreams of what I've done That my tears have no place to run Always midnight, never daylight, always hunger, never sleep Always dreaming, never leaving, never living Into my soul through walls of hate and fear Past the words that were meant to keep me here The child in me was stolen from my heart To find her I must tear this room apart Now my heart is beating to the tune Of angry voices and vicious wounds All around me, I am writhing on the floor Screaming, you don't have to stay here anymore So hit the floor and it shatters in my hands I use the bed where all my bitterness began To crush the walls and cut their words up into lies Till there is nothing left to hold me back from bright blue skies Always midnight, never daylight, always hunger, never sleep Always dreaming, never leaving, never living I am a prisoner of war I am a child worth looking for I am a human sacrifice but I'm gonna stay alive It is always midnight, never daylight, always hunger, never sleep Always dreaming, never leaving, never living I'm just beginning to live
