lyrics

Just a little more than the last time

Whatever it takes to reach the high
(Relief) – The less the junk is cut the longer her wrist aren’t

She doesn’t get sick any more Daddy says it’s bad for business
She has to look healthy, no matter how hungry

Trying all she can to survive this tricky world

Crash and burn

Fallen on her back where she cannot move until it’s over
Being filled up with emptiness
She can feel snake bites hiss
Trying to ignore his breath on her neck, it makes her so sick
Living this way is expensive, if that is what this is

She used to dream of demons
Now she dreams things obscene in her living nightmare

Killing the child that her father destroyed
She feels him inside her, tearing up her body
Her heart made so fragile
Regrets are all she has since she fell

(Memories) – She can remember, once upon a time

Before this

Her abjection had been finalized
Free to pursue what she idolized
Free as a feral child to roam
Plunged herself into this new home

Just one taste is all it takes
Just so easy to raise the stakes
He is the sculptor and she is the shape
She is the victim and he is the rape

She’s the product of culture rot
It’s so much deeper than she thought
Darker than she dreamed it would get
Fantasizing about her wrists

She remembers, he’s finally done
She walks over to her dresser
Opens the drawer and pulls it out
An image of a different life

And then she pulls the needle out
Time to drown away all these doubts
Why God have you forsaken me?
Why father have you forgotten me?

She never wanted this
She never asked for this
She never had a chance
(Cursed) This story was written by something much greater
The words of that lady echo loudly through her head every now and then

What if she was right and there’s something
(Greater) Greater than a series of terrible choices

Waking up
