A ring of salt around your bed A broken mirror in your head A butterfly tries to break in Through the window You sit for hours in your bath Hold your knees up to your chest A ribcage wasn't enough to Protect your soul Had I been there You'd still be yours But your cocoon was cut open wide Just a mess of faces in your mind And a little boy got lost inside You are no one's plaything, you're alive Tried to break your soul, but it can't die Overtake your mind, God knows they tried But what they took from you does not define your life A hollow glance, a vacant stare A Wonderland beneath your hair Electrified your burning brain 'Til it cracked No, I will heal your sanity Just keep those gorgeous eyes on me Pick up the pieces and we'll Put them all back Had I been there You'd still be whole But it's all right 'cause all your broken glass Makes a kaleidoscope You are no one's plaything, you're alive Tried to break your soul, but it can't die Overtake your mind, God knows they tried But what they took from you does not define your life Keep your eyes on me Don't give in to fantasy The pain will pass, we will outlast You have no hold over me They picked your lily, turned it black But, darling, you are no one's cat Open your eye and cut the strings Off your back The butterflies can go to hell And you will not live in this cell 'Cause what they took from you did not Make you less of a man You are no one's plaything, you're alive Tried to break your soul, but it can't die Overtake your mind, God knows they tried But what they took from you does not define your life It does not define your life (keep your eyes on me) The nightmares drive you to my bed 'Cause my voice isn't in your head Just keep two eyes on me and we Will surely win And mark my words, they'll know our name We'll show them we won't play their game 'Cause we're not mad here And we will never let them in
