lyrics

Not a horrendous dream but reality
Haunting me every day
Shunned away in pain

Denied the right to daylight
Sustenance and hygiene
Life out of reach, your beliefs; disturbing to me

You know the scriptures by heart
But yours are solid and dark

Unsure of my name, I weigh half my age
Frozen in my fear
For long years, I’m breaking out of here

I heard the mother was abused as a child
The seed of evil sown, her brain rewired
Was it destined?

Did the comfort of routine outweigh the grief?
Did they even want to leave?
Stockholm syndrome, there's no place like home

I lived next door to them for years
They sought out the nocturne
They kept themselves to themselves
A blind eye I turned
Now it's too late
Now I beat myself up
I should have done more

I heard one of the kids had a presence online
Sharing songs that she wrote based on her life
No-one caught on

Like a scream inside a vacuum
Or hand signals in an empty room
The content was meant, but now it's all past tense

I lived next door to them for years
They sought out the nocturne
They kept themselves to themselves
A blind eye I turned
Now it's too late
Now I can't live with myself

History repeats
