Tortured Tone

I heard her on the phone

Shielded, but alone

She slurred a tortured tone

I can hear the rain splash on the ground

She swam through darkness into light

Then fell back into the hell of night

She searched for colors in the grey

Then swam back into that old misery

Now that dress is in the gutter

The tears have all but gone

Now that dress is in the gutter

The tears have all but gone

The hate for herself grows

The shell she hides in knows

She built an alternate world

Full of vampires, cocks and crows

A place where she can go

Self-loathe all alone

Oh, she's not been at home for so long

She's not been at home...

Where did your heart go?

The glow seemed to freeze in snow

Under you wild skies

The rain waits for thee

Where did that heart go?

Her rain soon froze into snow

Sorrow fuelled brown eyes

Kept speaking in my dreams

It was a stone cold realisation

When I heard her speak alone

Oh, when you live your life through escapism eyes

You'll find it hard to heal as the pain sinks deeper within you...

Where did your heart go?

The glow seemed to freeze in snow

Under you wild skies

The rain waits for thee

Where did your heart go?

The glow seemed to freeze in snow

Under you wild skies

The rain waits for thee

Where did your heart go?

The glow seemed to freeze in snow

Under you wild skies

The rain waits for thee
