Teenaged girl with eyes so dark

In the shadows, fire’s spark

Teenaged girl with eyes so dark

While the cruel world makes its mark

——— No-one hears the way you hurt

In the shadows, sweet and curt

No-one hears the way you hurt

You’re the desert, stay alert

——— Everything you are it’s in the silence

But I have lived my whole life

Listening to the silence

I’ve figured out the quiet subtle violence

That presses into your life

The songs that you sing in silence ———

I will be your sword of starlight

So you can win back your soul’s right

I will be your sword of starlight

I will be your rage

I will be your daylight breaking

So your new world has its making

I will be your daylight breaking

I will turn the page

———

Teenaged girl with smiles so fake

While the shadows claw and rake

Teenaged girl with smiles so fake

While you hide the way you break

———

No-one knows the way you dream

While the shadows grow and teem

No-one hears the way you dream

Or the way your pieces scream

———

Everything you are it’s in the silence

But I have lived my whole life

Listening to the silence

I’ve figured out the quiet subtle violence

That presses into your life

The songs that you sing in silence

———

I will be your sword of starlight

So you can win back your soul’s right

I will be your sword of starlight

I will be your rage

I will be your daylight breaking

So your new world has its making

I will be your daylight breaking

I will turn the page

———

I will be your reckoning, miss

To your villains, death’s sweet kiss

I will be your reckoning, miss

And your hand will guide all of this

———

When you come to victory sweet

When your villains have been beat

When you come to victory sweet

And make the rich kneel at your feet

———

Everything you are it’s in the silence

But I have lived my whole life

Listening to the silence

I’ve figured out the quiet subtle violence

That presses into your life

The songs that you sing in silence

———

I will be your sword of starlight

So you can win back your soul’s right

I will be your sword of starlight

I will be your rage

I will be your daylight breaking

So your new world has its making

I will be your daylight breaking

I will turn the page

———

Between the pages and lines there’s something real

I’ve never seen you but I’ve seen the way that your soul feels

Beyond the pages and lines your far too real
