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
