In the room full of shadows, she dances with the sounds of their beating hearts, but
The fire surrounds her now and she knows it's time to part.
Her smile is as bright as stars, and eyes shine like diamonds,
Yet she's shackled to steel bars and her voice is silenced.
Alone and cold they watch her walk away.
Consumed with questions, they all stay at bay.
No one reaches out to help and no one dares to care.
The pain is too much for anyone else to bear.
Engulfed in solitude, she stands on her own two feet.
Stricken with fear, she begins to dance to her own heartbeat.
