From the darkness at home
To the darkest place I had gone
Surrounded by metal gates
Sinister descriptions written in poor taste
I sung love to escape pain
Should have kept it to myself
Refrain
“Oh this one sings”
Oh this one sings alone
Face against the window, looking for a different home.
–
Told to be who I am then they mentally stripped me bare
Grabbing at my mind said I had much in need of repair
Splinter in the head programming dead we’ve got a glitch
Remove him from certain avenues place him in a deep ditch
He’ll spin his tires quench his fire he’ll find learned helplessness
Neutralized he’ll compromise to return to system
Train him in temporary goodies so he’ll desire and miss them
So after all the years of being outside
I still keep a lot to myself just like on those bus rides
When she said “oh this one sings.”
This one sings alone
Oh this one sings alone
Face against the window, looking for a different home.
–
If I ignore them, will old scars go away?
Are my emotions piano keys in ballad sang every day?
