Brainwashed

 

No expression on her face
Her body seems dead
But a silent scream
Echoes through her head
She's living in a world
Of someone else's make belive
And when when reality calls back
She doesn't want to leave
She thinks if she ignores them
Her problems will fade
And when he takes her to the stars
It seems they've gone away
But when she comes back down
Her problems reoccur
And inside she screams for help
But there's nobody to hear
She's there on her own
Her world is false and cold
Beneath the silent presence
She's ready to explode
She breaks down inside
But no tears run from her eyes
She stands there staring blankly
Inside she starts to die
Tragic screams of torture
Are recorded in her brain
Playing day by day
Her mind goes insane
Her thoughts and beliefs
She's lost and can't find
She's living by a copy
Of his disillusioned mind
A million worlds apart
But still they are together
And she knows nothing will change
It'll stay like this forever
Love will still be hate
Truth will still be lies
Alive she'll stay while every day
Another soul will die
ll she really needed
Was someone who could
Kiss away the suffering
And show her how to love
He said he would protect her
She'd never be alone
The promises were false
Instead he took control
