Lyrics
Two men entered and I thought I was dreaming
I heard the sounds of muffled laughter
And expected the door to slam off the hinges
The dark initiates my fear and I tell myself
Nothing can hurt me
Nothing can hurt me
The blanket weighs 300 pounds
Pinning me on my stomach
Although my eyes are open, I see nothing
But a spiraling glow that radiates
From the alarm clock on the nightstand
Hands are gripping me
The sheets are twisted
I'm suffocating
I smell nail polish
I picture my mother out in the garden on a spring day
Planting new strawberry seeds
The earth aroma as she churns the soil lingers
I imagine my life as a princess
Nothing can hurt me
Nothing can hurt me
It's 5:47 AM and the sun looks as if
It's just about to defeat the night sky
A battle between good and evil that
Rages on through centuries unnoticed
My nightgown is tangled above my hips
I went to sleep with panties on and I smell blood
My breasts are exposed and sore
One of them has bite marks
Blinding light from the bathroom crushes my eyes
I try to stand up and the weight of the world buckles my knees
Nothing can hurt me
Nothing can hurt me
The dawn breaks and this veil of
Secrecy I carry around is about to melt
Something within my being explodes
And I realize I'm not looking at a portrait of hell
We are all living in it
