Ballad of a Line of 100 Little Girls
A line of 100 little girls on the shore
All have a heart that’s torn
Fighting their own civil war
But don’t know what their standing for
Some are fighting for affection
Maybe a few stand for perfection
A load trying to make corrections
One or two just hate their inner reflection
A line of 100 little girls all cry and bawl
All cut from the same shawl
Broken pieces of the same doll
Bricks from the same wall
Some are tattered
Maybe a few are shattered
A load feeling splattered
One or two are completely battered
A line of 100 little girls all broken
Feeling chosen
Until their hearts feel stolen
Crashing from the same moment.
Some are there because they were bad
Maybe a few are there because they were sad
A load that felt mad
One or two felt glad
A line of 100 little girls with stones above their head
They’re all dead
They’ve gone to bed
More to come, just hanging by a thread
Some couldn’t hold on
Maybe a few just wanted to be gone
A load that didn’t want to see another dawn
One or two were just withdrawn
A line of 100 little girls’ graves
Stuck in my heart’s darkest caves
Chaining my limbs like slaves
Let me drown in the crashing waves.
