For all the women who have experienced sexual assault.
lyrics
Where can Ophelia run
When her nightmare turns real
So this is how it happens
Can you tell me now, can you tell me how she feels
To know, that no one knows
She feels, she feels, she feels, she feels
She's falling
Falling, like a raindrop on its way from a cloud
She's crying, crying like the wind
But for the storm, she cannot make a sound
No one seems to notice
Or maybe no one seems to care
But nobody puts two and two together
About what she'd do if she was really there
To be awake and aware
And away somewhere safe
Wake up wake up
One way or the other
This nightmare had to end
Maybe the law said suicide
But this wasn't her fauilt
Now Ophelia is gone
In the river she drowned
Ophelia is there in body
But bear in mind
That maybe she could push the thoughts away
But she could never leave the feeling behind
So she sleeps perchance to dream
One more time
You might not hear a single rain drop fall, but you hear the storm...
