Today I thought of you, eyes red and tired
Sitting in my car crying, the rain falling
You enter my fragile mind, spotting an opening
And you take it, crushing me underneath
My brain can never be rid of you, it seems
You occupy my thoughts at every turn
Everyone says to let it go, let it pass
But they weren’t there that day in science class
I know you’re miles and miles away
And I am finally safe
But what you did will always stay
Your hold on me remains
I see your face everywhere, in everything
Your cruel smile, always there in my mind
In my nightmares, I defeat you, I’m the hero
But in the real world, there’s no such thing
