Five-Time 2nd Place Winner

You tried to break me down

You warped every mirror in my house

But I see through it now

And I know I'm not looking at a monster

And I won’t let you get

I won’t let you get away with this

'Cause I was always the strong one

And I will always be the strong one here

I told someone about you

And now I'm drifting

I'm tasting independence

For the first time in a year

And it feels like a new

It feels like a new feeling

'Cause I was your puppet

Your project for so long

And I can almost hear

The snapping of your bones

And the voices that you're silencing

For your own gain

I can hear it in my sleep

I hear it echo in my dreams

I won’t do it, I won’t do it

And I crave to see the water

From your eyes forming puddles in your sheets

To see black clay smeared in your pillowcase

Give you a taste of what you did to me

It doesn’t feel too good now, does it

Take your pointed finger and turn it around

I'm waiting

I'll keep an eye out next time

I run into someone like you

And I can almost hear

The snapping of your bones

And the sound they’ll make

When I say their name
