Theia - There's A Boy

There's a boy sat outside my window
When he cries, only I can hear
As I pull him inside, to my room every night
I whisper, child, we don't do that here
Little girl stood still upon my mantle
Holds up the frame in which she stands
Smiles back through the glass, she waits till I pass
And then covers up her face with both hands
They all come at night when I'm dying to sleep
I'm taken hostage again by the weight of the sheets
Can you cut me free, or take my eyes at least
The ghosts that I see remind me of you
Cause in the whites of their eyes I can see the truth
The fear and the shame and the pain I hide
I don't wanna believe, please take my eyes
There's a boy who he is I don't remember
But he whispers things I understand
Through gritted teeth, almost chokes as he pleads
I can't see anymore, you must guide my hands
They all come at night when I'm dying to sleep
I'm taken hostage again by the weight of the sheets
Can you cut me free, or take my eyes at least
The ghosts that I see remind me of you
Cause in the whites of their eyes I can see the truth
The fear and the shame and the pain I hide
I don't wanna believe, please take my eyes
There I am, standing in the mirror
By a window, in a picture with no frame
I scream to the past, and then the boy in the glass
But my reflection doesn't look the same
