Emilaea Woodwolf - The Boy Next Door Lyrics

There's trouble Daddy please
Don't tell
How shameful is this body now?
Close the door across the hall
But these demons walk through walls
Walls
Her innocence lies in the bottom of a closet
Ignorant bliss shattered by your "self control"
Sing her lullabies of it's okay darling
Wait till the nightmares pass
But the nightmares don't pass
Her life is a game of yes but no
Checking over shoulders
Even when you hold her
Close to your heart like you'll never let go
And the whole world scolds her
You should've told us when it went to far
You let it happen
You're overreacting
You never even really tried that hard
We are
We are
The silent and the innocent
We are
We are
The silent and the innocent
And I've been looking at these wounds
For far too long
A painting on my skin of what went wrong
Turns the lights on 'til the sights gone
But these demons don't need dark
Dark
Her dignity hangs by the thread of a jury
Losing its grip on what little's left to hold
Keep her mind safe while they prod her body
She's only three years old
And they ask her questions
Where did he touch
How many times before
Are you sure it happened
Are you overreacting
Her tears fall heavy to the floor
But then she sees it
There's something wrong with the boy next door
Dad didn't know it
She didn't show it
Please don't take her away no more
We are
We are
The silent and the innocent
We are
We are
The silent and the innocent
There's trouble Daddy please
Don't tell
