I can't see your face through the dark room only the glow from the tv shows your true outline Like a coward, I keep still Too scared to awaken and scream for help I toss and turn hoping you'll leave I was a child Innocent Why didn't you come forward when I woke and cried in my mother's arms Were you ashamed then Did you feel instant regret Would you take it back Lie to me and tell you will Make it go away Redeem me Burn a hole in my memories until I feel my childhood pure Leave me pure Please, just tell me who you are Just let me put a face to the nightmare that haunts me every time I close my eyes Do you not owe me that at least Can I just have my peace of mind and hurt you  Like you hurt me Let me traumatize you the same way my bones feels your presence creep up on me The shudder I feel flow through my legs and spine makes me freeze and remember What I wish to forget Let you live with the guilt that eats at my soul.

The Coward.
I can't see your face through the dark room only the glow from the tv shows your true outline Like a coward, I keep still Too scared to awaken and scream for help I toss and turn hoping you'll leave I was a child Innocent Why didn't you come forward when I woke and cried in my mother's arms Were you ashamed then Did you feel instant regret Would you take it back Lie to me and tell you will Make it go away Redeem me Burn a hole in my memories until I feel my childhood pure Leave me pure Please, just tell me who you are Just let me put a face to the nightmare that haunts me every time I close my eyes Do you not owe me that at least Can I just have my peace of mind and hurt you  Like you hurt me Let me traumatize you the same way my bones feels your presence creep up on me The shudder I feel flow through my legs and spine makes me freeze and remember What I wish to forget Let you live with the guilt that eats at my soul.
