I have so much to say.
To scream at the world until my voice breaks.
But I'll keep quiet, can't say a word.
I'm unable to release all that's within.
I'll get punished, not allowed.
I've done too much damage already, so I'll shut up.
Paste a smile on my face, does it reach my eyes?
You'll never know, I always look down.
Gotta keep my eyes on the ground, can't look up.
Can't disobey, I'll get punished.
Can't speak unless spoken to, you want to be hit?
Can't turn my back, can't leave.
Not allowed, I can't do anything.
Rules, that's all it is?
It's so much more, it's payment.
Not allowed to do this, not allowed to do that.
I don't have a say, remember?
Gotta be quiet, look down and obey.
Can't do anything, not allowed.
It's not like it's my life, it never has.
Keep it all inside, they'll leave if you tell.
They all leave eventually, no one stays.
I deserve it, all the pain.
Hush, no one can know.
