Captive

Shadows of what I once was
Filter through my mind
Tearing, scraping in my head
The heart can be so blind

Used to think that I was strong
Used to think that I'd remain
What a way to prove me wrong
Inside the house of blame

Did it excite you?
Squeezing out my breath
Did it entice you?
Plotting out my death

All I see anymore of me
Is just a shaken doll
All I want is just to be
Immune to the fall

But I don't like to feel it
Oh no, cause then you win
So I try to conceal it
Guilty when I give in

Do you think you've won?
Obviously you didn't
But still I feel I lost
Regardless of where you've been

I know you liked to watch me
As I slowly came undone
Layer by layer, word for word
And then I couldn't run

Now that you're the captive
I rest easier in my bed
But never again will I feel safe
Till the moment that you're dead
