Flagpoles tinkering in a maze of pavement Lights that strip the colors off Cinder-blocks that listen Windows watch the sorrow and your words make hollow sounds
But from your mind they took a child An assuming thing to pressure And like a child you lost your mind Just like a child
The chemicals that made you betrayed your expectations Was it really there before? Who you are won't matter when they're done with you But you never knew her at all
But from your mind they took a child Unassuming thing To pressure And like a child you lost your mind Just like a child
Feel like you're breaking at their hands Feel like they'll break you It doesn't matter Barbiturate your way back and Make them so proud to call you their daughter Fall back behind the veil again Fall back to shadow It doesn't matter Feel like you're breaking at their hands Feel like they'll break you into a man
But from your mind they took a child And from your fear they brandished an iron And with your trust they delivered a lie They got deep inside to save you
