SILENTLY LETTING GO OF ALL MY TEARS
CRYING ABOUT ALL MY CHILD YEARS
TRYING TO FORGET FOREVER
BUT I CANT NOW, NOR NEVER
TEARS RUNNING DOWN MY FACE
I STILL REMEMBER THAT PLACE
IT WAS COLD, DARK AND SCARY
AT THAT TIME I BELIEVED IN A FAIRY
I CANT REMEMBER HER NAME
THE FAIRY OF DREAMS
SHE WOULD COME AND TAKE AWAY MY PAIN
SHE NEVER CAME, I WAITED AND WAITED
THE DARK ROOM DRIVING ME INSANE
EVERYDAY I SCREAMED FOR HER TO HELP ME GET OUT
IT NEVER HELPED, I WAS STUCK THERE
AND NO ONE EVER DID CARE
LOCKED UP IN A ROOM
TO THINK ABOUT THE BAD THINGS I HAVE DONE
BECAUSE SOMETIMES I WAS BAD
AND SOMETIMES I DID MAKE MY FATHER MAD
AFTER THREE DAYS IT WAS OVER
I COULD COME OUT AND EAT MY FIRST MEAL
THAT JUST HAPPEND WHEN DADDY WAS SOBER
