Heirloom

I wrote the book on disconnecting from the world when I'm afraid

I camouflage all my emotions like you taught me yesterday

Sometimes I picture us together like a family would've been

I lock my house from all my nightmares but the walls are paper thin

(Hide away the pain) Cover up the bruises

(Take away the shame) They won't know what truth is

(Break away the frame) Buried inside these halls…these castle walls

I'm not afraid of the monsters under my bed

I'm more afraid of the voices in my head

I bet not even the monsters could do what you did

Goosebumps on the back of my neck stand

Anxiety written on the palms of my wet hands

Wake up to the rage and desperation

Hide my head from the blows of frustration

(Hide away the pain) Cover up the bruises

(Take away the shame) They won't know what truth is

(Break away the frame) Buried inside these halls…these castle walls

(Hide away the pain) Memories like daggers

(Take away the shame) They won't find what matters

Little child so small builds castle walls…

I'm not afraid of the monsters under my bed

I'm more afraid of the voices in my head

I bet not even the monsters could do what you did.

Memories like daggers

They won't find what matters

Little child so small…

I'm not afraid of the monsters under my bed

I'm more afraid of the voices in my head

I bet not even the monsters could do what you did

Monsters!
