You don’t have to be afraid of me… I learned to swallow every scream Until my silence started screaming back Kept every fracture underneath my skin Smiled while my whole world turned black Then you came crawling through the cracks A voice beneath the noise inside my head You didn’t ask me to be beautiful You only asked me to let you in And I should run I know I should But you know every wound The way nobody ever could Let me carry it… Pull me closer Till I can’t remember where you end and I begin Hold me under Let me drown inside the darkness underneath my skin You call it possession I call it finally letting go If this is a prison Why does it feel like home? Home… My favorite prison Home… Your hands are ghosts across my thoughts Your voice is velvet wrapped around a blade You touch the parts I keep concealed And somehow make me unafraid I stopped fighting when I realized You never wanted me to disappear You wanted every hidden piece Every ugly truth I couldn’t bear Now when you whisper I lean closer When you disappear I need you more You wanted to feel something… So make me feel it. Pull me closer Till I can’t remember where you end and I begin Hold me under Let me drown inside the darkness underneath my skin You call it possession I call it finally letting go If this is a prison Why does it feel like home? I used to hate the darkness Now I wait inside it I used to fear your voice Now silence feels violent You took my anger You took my pain You kissed every scar I tried to hide away And somewhere between The fear and the pleasure I stopped asking To be free You don’t belong to me… I belong here. Give me your anger. Take it. Give me your sorrow. Take it. Give me the part of you Nobody gets to see. TAKE ALL OF ME! Pull me closer Till there isn’t anything between us left to hide Take me under Let me disappear into the other side You call it possession But I don’t want to let you go If this is a prison Then lock the door I don’t want to be saved anymore. You were supposed to destroy me… I taught you how to feel. And now I miss you When you’re gone… Then I’ll never leave. My favorite prison…
