I hurt so bad
I didn’t have my smokes to protect me
I was alone; sleeping by the window
I didn’t touch anyone but someone touched me
What a creep What a fucking creep
There he was
He didn’t touch my mother
He didn’t touch my brother
He didn’t touch anyone but me
I was alone. It hurt so bad
I stood there
My back against the wall
Seeing him touch my sisters
He didn’t touch my mother
He didn’t touch my father
He never touched me
I was alone I was silent
I was too little
To know what was going on
I didn’t have anyone to tell
If I did, all they’d do is yell
And all the blame
Would be put right back on me
I was alone I was silent.
The terror
It creeps up my insides
Everything is connected
To what has gone before
When he drove into the yard
And knocked upon the door
We had to go
We had no choice
It saddens me
How society has gone wrong
How sad it is the horror’s in the songs
It doesn’t seem to say enough
Of what it’s really like inside
How I’m trying to be tough
Just to get through
Just to get through
