Yellow flowers painted on cream walls
crying, screaming, set me free
she spins, and turns, trapped captive
in her own home, echoes heartbreak
locked in and alone.

She claws her way out
of hell, Cerberus howling
breeze warms frigid air
Young buds stretch for blossoming
birds fluttering in the trees
Yellow flowers painted on cream walls
crying, screaming, set me free
she spins, and turns, trapped captive
in her own home, echoes heartbreak
locked in and alone.
