In the fiery house of hell
Her deadpan emotions don’t sell
The story of the throbbing welt
His anger flared into to a yell
She shuts her eyes, closes her mind
Slippery slope, she cannot float
Abandoned hope, she cannot cope
No anecdote so without a note
She tightens the rope around her throat
To be free
During the blackness of the night
He takes advantage of her right
The twisted sheets become un-white
Paralyzed she cannot take flight
She shuts her eyes, closes her mind
Slippery slope, she cannot float
Abandoned hope, she cannot cope
No anecdote so without a note
She tightens the rope around her throat
To be free
She dreams of being an halcyon at sea
Fluttering to the wind’s calm harmony
An illusion out of reach
Slippery slope, she cannot float
Abandoned hope, she cannot cope
No anecdote so without a note
She tightens the rope around her throat
To be free
An illusion within reach
To be free
