It was one more dramatic night
in the household of hell
one more tear to cry
one more wound to swell

it was just one more fight to add to the list
this one more meaningless than the rest
the choice was all mine
stay there, get hit
run like i have never run before
it only took me a minute to think
and i took off out the door

I ran like a coward
into the darkness of the cold night
I tryed to keep my mouth closed
I really did try to avoid the fight

I found the path
the one i ran upon as a child
I have changed so much since then
but still so carefree and wild

I cryed tears of hope
and knelt down on the spot
I cant believe it was still there
representing me
my matted down soul

I prayed there for help and forgiveness
a little faith and some motivation
to help me live through this

I know I could make this easier
but you would just ignore me
and i would feel such pain over and over
until i fell through everything i was standing on

I really made the effort
to be the daughter you always wanted
maybe even make you proud
i wanted you to boast of the one you loved
scream it loud

I wanted to show her i could do it
and i know i just could
But deep inside i know
she wouldnt care at all
although i wish she would

She brushes me off of her shoulders
I cry myself to sleep at night
and loathe her with a passion

So i stayed out that night
for what had seemed like days
I walked into the house
with eyeliner streaming down my face
my lips a little blue
I thought she would be somewhat worried
i couldnt have been further from the truth

I walked into my room
shut the door behind me
she did what i had thought
let me be
