I am Eileen I keep the keys I live at the edge Of my own vanishing I am Eileen I keep the keys I live at the edge (Edge of my own vanishing) My father's belt The same crack in the plaster I learned to flinch Before he swung At night I washed the cells Bleach and piss and silence The young ones Forgotten, still young I learned to shrink I learned to fold The iron taste Of wanting nothing I learned to shrink I learned to fold (Wanting nothing) Let me go Let me go Let me go Before it names me Let me go Let me go Let me go (Before it names me) Rebecca came in With her red mouth and her lies She looked at me Like I was real Almost warm For a second I almost believed her Then I remembered the cells The same silence, the same storm If I move They see me So I stay In the corner My name follows me A badge I didn't choose If I move They see me (They see me) I can't escape I can't escape I can't escape This is what remains I can't escape I can't escape I can't escape (This is what remains) Snow kept falling I kept going Nowhere Snow kept falling I kept going Nowhere
