Lyrics

The door unlocks, the curtains fall
Wide-eyed, I hear my monsters call
One by one they take their turn
Think I’m a toy, but I’m a girl
13 years old, crying for mom

I’m dressed like a dirty magazine
My back’s been marked with tattoo ink
They label all the girls this way
We’re shipped like cargo on a train
I die a little every day       

Ohh…

I need you
I need you
To save me from here
To save me from here
Will you?

If I survive, I won’t forget
Their faces haunt my every step
Dehumanized in every way
Self-worth’s an angel that’s been slain
And yet hope sings, if ever faint

I need you
I need you
To save me from here
To save me from here
Will you?

I want to believe that there is good in this world
That light will overcome the darkness
Show me that love endures the greatest hurt
That it heals the ugliest of scars

I need you
I need you
To save me from here
To save me from here
Will you?
