"Let me see those pretty eyes"
I'M DROWNING IN THIS BLACK ABYSS
"I love it when my darling cries"
HIS OPEN PALM, MY CLENCHED FIST
"Look up at me sweet little girl"
I CAN FEEL MYSELF BECOMING STONE
"Put this on and give it a twirl"
IN HIS DEAD COMPANY, I STAND ALONE

He closes the doors and cracks the windows,
Screaming voices are covered when the wind blows,

I wish to stop but I can never end,
The tearing flesh unable to mend,
Save me lord, for I'd try for myself,
But I chose this, I chose this splintered shelf, ,
I can not fix the past with all the lights off,
I can't gag, can't breath, can't even cough,
My tears have run dry with the river,
Choked my lifeline and made my heart quiver,
I am a play thing that always plays along,
Stuck in this playground I no longer belong.
