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
