Never again will she see a sunrise awakening over a world unbroken

He brought the night with him beyond the gates while she safely slept

Never again



The way she turns her face from passing strangers is part of her now, echoing

The way she wakes up cold and calls her father's name is part of her now

Echoes of him



Never again will she hear the raindrops fall against the glass and not feel a chill

Transported back to the night it changed and the sound of the front door forced open

She awoke to the panic



Down the stairs she crept

A family he'd never met, broken in pieces

Every single step, every living breath



Underneath her nails, she will carry his pain

When the structure of your new life breaks through the door

It will already be sealed in the past



Every single step, every living breath

Underneath her nails, she will carry his pain

When the structure of her new life broke through the door



It was already sealed in the past
