In blinding tears
Lock the door...

In the corners of my mind
You linger...

12:59
And I just can't sleep...

My innocence died on a summer night
I was seventeen, still six inside...

Window, cold pressed
Against my shivering face...

Blood streaming
Forgotten child...

Broken red lipstick
Draws a cracked heart on my bed...

My eager heart
Is a rose...

I'm black, you're white
You're dark, I'm bright...

In the darkest of nights
I sang a woeful hymn...

Upon these steps of torture
I weep...

Dear mother,
You say you love me...
