Behind closed doors

Behind closed doors with big smiles framed on the wall

Secret pain inside a heart

No, being screamed

unheard by all


In her head the sound was deafening

While the air was still with silence  

She was frozen

Turned to ice from the violence  


She blamed herself for the violation

Invited him over

Feeling only humiliation

She knew him, that's not how it's supposed to happen


Now she’s trapped and sinking away

Unable to face her reality

The boy said she didn't fight

And that apparently gave him the right


To take something he could never return.


He gloats with his buddies on the track

about a “easy” girl who stayed still on her back


Now she walks through the halls

Head down

She told her friend the truth

and that friend said something happened to me too


Then she went on saying Sam also knew our grief

It happened when he was just a boy,

that's why he’s always blue.


She told me they dont care whats true

no one wants to see

That ugly never dying beast

that’s hidden underneath
