I am a prisoner in my own body
my mind tortured every night
unwanted memories flood back
remember to smile
They cut my hair and remove my colors
I am black and grey
I am emotionless
I have to smile
do not feel
do not show them anything
not the spark of hope that in 10 months you'll be free
not the burning desire for individuality
Don't forget that beautiful smile
Prove to them you can be a good girl
you can take all your medicine
and smile
always remember to smile
Do not dare show them any different

I am a prisoner in my own body
my mind tortured every night
unwanted memories flood back
remember to smile
They cut my hair and remove my colors
I am black and grey
I am emotionless
I have to smile
do not feel
do not show them anything
not the spark of hope that in 10 months you'll be free
not the burning desire for individuality
Don't forget that beautiful smile
Prove to them you can be a good girl
you can take all your medicine
and smile
always remember to smile
Do not dare show them any different
