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
