There is no escape from reality All the harsh words and the agony Night after night That hand rises to strike again And this innocent girl Takes the blame Behind those eyes of anxiety Lies a hope of a world in serenity There's no room for terror No place for all that she fears No striking hands A realm free from tears So she waits for the night to fly away The first light of the morning to soothe the pain A silent prayer calls for the day For the guardian angel to take her away Another home that's broken No hope for peace or love Just violence The heart of this girl is broken All she can do is wait for the end The night falls She hides under the stairs A voice full of range Calls upon her name Blood flows on the floor A knife falls from a trembling hand Eyes full of tears Stare at the pool and the lying man What has she done She don't quite understand She looks at her hands She has just killed a man And as the night flies away The first light of the morning reveals the stains Is this the price she had to pay She smiles at the angel that killed the pain Now the future's uncertain But she looks ahead without the pain Her heart is still broken But she sees the Sun through the rain The future may be uncertain But she looks ahead without the pain Her heart is still broken But she knows the Sun will shine again
