Snow white queen

Stoplight, lock the door.
Don't look back.
Undress in the dark,
And hide from you,
All of you.

You'll never know the way your words have haunted me.
I can't believe you'd ask these things of me.
You don't know me.

You belong to me,
My snow white queen.
There's nowhere to run, so let's just get it over.
Soon I know you'll see,
You're just like me.
Don't scream anymore my love, 'cause all I want is you.

Wake up in a dream.
Frozen fear.
All your hands on me.
I can't scream

I can't escape the twisted way you think of me.
I feel you in my dreams and I don't sleep.

You belong to me,
My snow white queen.
There's nowhere to run, so let's just get it over.
Soon I know you'll see,
You're just like me.Don't scream anymore my love, 'cause all I want is you

I can't save your life,
Though nothing I bleed for is more tormenting.
I'm losing my mind and you just stand there and stare as my world divides.

You belong to me,
My snow white queen.
There's nowhere to run, so let's just get it over.
Soon I know you'll see,
You're just like me.
Don't scream anymore my love, 'cause all I want is you. 





I was going through my music today and came across this song. Last year Evanescence was a favorite of mine and I went through her albums, every week having a new favorite song. This song, Snow White Queen, never became a favorite because I had no connection with the lyrics. Now however I found the words resonating in my soul. 


We all know oppressive people, people who take more than they should. Some times they leave more than memories or scars in their wake. Sometimes they leave a trail of broken china, shattered glass, a trail that hurts more healing then it did being forged. And it seems like our hearts will never be the same. 


The chorus especially speaks to me. I've felt the oppressive hands, the penetrating eyes, the lips twisted up into a sneer that enthralls, ensnares and repulses you. 


Memories haunt me, stalk my nightmares, flit through my thoughts, darkening even the brightest sunshine from my eyes. And I can't stop screaming inside.
