Feral Heartbeat

(uhhh) I painted my face to fit the frame Played every sweet and

gentle game

You wanted soft, you wanted grace But there is fire behind this

face (ha!) How many times must I break my own bones

To make a house

out of your cold stones?

(no more!) I wanted love,

but you wanted a doll

So watch me burn and tear down the wall!

I am the storm that you couldn't tame

No longer playing

your quiet game!

Another dinner, another lie Another year of watching myself die I starved

my soul to feed your pride Now the monster's

awake inside! (screaming)

I will not shrink for

you. (aaaaaaaargh!)

No more quiet. (shhh)
