Lyrics: Portrait

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 three hundred pounds pinning me on my stomach.
Although my eyes are open i see nothing
But a spiral of glow that radiates from the alarm clock on the night stand.
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 turns the soil lingers.
I imagine my life as a princess,
Nothing can hurt me.
Nothing can hurt me.
It's 5:47am and the suns looks as if it's just about to defeat the night sky.
The battle between good and evil that rages on for centuries unnoticed.
My nightgown is tangled above my hips.
I went to sleep with panties on and i smell blood.
My breast turns are exposed and sore. one of them has bite marks.
Blinding light from the bathroom crushes my eyes.
I try to stand up but 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 in my being explodes and i realize i'm not looking at a portrait.
We are all living in it.
