hey you, standing there in the light

while i hide in the dark from you

you stand there with arms open wide

like a mirage of love and happiness too.

you smile at me assuring i'll be safe

but why does it chill my bones

step by step i come closer to you

your touch feels cold as stone.

i shiver in your embrace, my heart beats fast

all my senses tell me to run

you tighten your grasp as you feel my doubt

crushing my defences as they leave me stunned.

i try to breathe but my lungs feel week

drowning in all your love and care

i try to break free but you're too strong

you see me die slowly as you just stare.

how can you hurt me so deep

like a blade slowly pushing deeper into my vein

you're smothering me, this cant be called love

the scarlet sky bleeds on us as it rains.

its not your mission to run my life

its not parenting if you kill your child

let me mend my broken wings

and learn my way through the wild.

but my pleads you dont hear

you rule my world with your iron hand

as my heart goes numb under the hurt

my tears dissapear under the waves of sand.
