lyrics

She's wondering what it means to be free of this yellow wallpaper,
to go outside, the sunshine nearly blinds as it falls all around her.
She knows there must be air out somewhere that could provide a cure
but to leave winter's scene only means she must be absolutely sure
she can make it on her own alone.

Wait until she's had her fill of the pills labcoat men say she can take.
They'd be wise to realize that her eyes can see all of their mistakes.
Baby blue's ugly hue is a clue that it's now she must escape
before this eight pound bliss gives death's kiss to things she'd like to make
of herself and her place in the world.

Charlotte's searching: what can be found
when these four walls have been burned down.
There's no reason she should stay here
except by force of old Rick's fear.

Never have such poor masks been attached with the glue of pure meanness.
To pretend that they can all defend forcing her inside the nest.
Go inside, spend some time by her side - then say she just needs rest.
You have no right - it's not your life under the knife by someone who can only guess
what it's like how the other half live.

Charlotte's searching: what can be found
when these four walls have been burned down.
There's no reason she should stay here
except by force of old Rick's fear.

Charlotte's searching: what can be found
when these four walls have been burned down.
There's no reason she should stay here
except by force of old Rick's fear.
So she's getting out of here.
