Why Do I Stay

Why Do I Stay? Walls painted gray to match the feelings inside Windows cracked from the anger I endure The sun hidden outside the fence out of sight Locks upon every door to hide all the scandalous secrets Trying to escape with every light A hit of the pipe; poof You've escaped the house for the night Dream child, dream for the future After you leave here, everything will be alright Soon you'll be free soon you won't have to fight
