A single moment, quiet stillness before the pain descends
She sits in silence, cradled against a wall
Just awaiting the end
Papa brings the waves of pain
She is drowning in her fear
How is she to overcome the torture that awaits her here?
Open your eyes; go shatter the world
Shelter the scars behind your new shield
The stories untold, your world has grown cold
We’re here to uncover your soul
Protect yourself, little girl
Fortress around your mind
Hide yourself, my dear, where no one else can find
You must forget your pain
Force one more new disguise
Hope to God you’ll stay safe; buried deep inside
She splits herself; the best defense
Which part of her can overcome?
In herself, she finds her friends
This little body shares more than one
Open your eyes; go shatter the world
Shelter the scars behind your new shield
The stories untold, your world has grown cold
We’re here to uncover your soul
