I was once a little girl
I smiled and I was free
Until I had trouble keeping up
With what my parents asked of me
Now, they tell me to be normal
They thinks it's as easy
As acting like that happy girl
I always used to be
But mommy, we both know I've changed
Look me in the eyes
And daddy, I'm not happy anymore
Can't you see that when I cry?
Mommy, I'm so sorry, mommy
Can't you hear my screams
Daddy, I'm still here, daddy
I'm having more bad dreams
Mommy, daddy, please don't ignore me
Please help me find my breath
I fear relief from my constant terrors
Will only come through death
Mommy, daddy
Help me
Please
Death is consuming all the life in me
