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
