The Awning Outside

She wakes up wishing she was someone else
He comes home again drunk again
With a beer in his hand

And these violent screams come from
this broken, battered girl
Who feels afraid to love,
and who is scared to smile
And these stolen dreams of her,
making it out alive
have all been torn apart
This life is torn apart
And this mockery he made
of feelings she held dear
Have all been ripped to shreds,
and causes pain to grow
As he silences her will
to speak of her own rights
It kills herself inside,
it kills herself inside
