chains
She builds these walls so high
She hurts herself like this
Because it’s her only shield
Bt’s her only way to protect herself
It’s her only way to live
She wants to escape
She plans to escape
But they never come through
Right when she plots to take off the armor
She finds a sword swimming at her
And she spooks
The dark allure of her comfort and pain
Brings her back
She’s just a frightened young kid
Unable to break free of her chains
