lyrics

(:45) So dark I cannot see
Where could I be?
Help me Mommy…
Daddy?
Please come rescue me and tell me…
It was just a dream

(1:57) All we did was everything you said
That they would live, you said
And that we could go free if we did what you said

(2:23) Promise broken!
I remember everything!
I can’t get it out of my head!

(2:54) You made me do
Things I didn’t know
Or would think to

You’d hurt and then you’d hug me
Say, “You’re such a good girl!” then disappear
Came back to do it again
Made me sticky-wet. I live in fear

(3:31) I live in fear!

(3:40) I’m afraid of the things that I see when I’m asleep

(3:55) I think there’s someone else here with me
And that they’re trying to break free
Who is it? What is your name?
I’m Jackie. I’m alone and I am in pain
Won’t you please help me? What’s your name?

(4:41) My name is Beverly. No need to worry, we’re going to play a game
Just close your eyes tight and don’t put up a fight. I’ll take away your pain
No need to suffer like Father and Mother. I’m going to make him pay!

(5:14) Because, like you, I felt pain
And so disgusting
But mostly I felt shame
(6:11) Bite right through it
Chew but don’t spit
Pull the fragments
Till they’re detachments

(6:33) What have we done? (Only what was needed)
Is he dead? (Not yet. He’s still bleeding)
What happens now? (I don’t know, but we’re breathing)
Will you stay with me? (Until the end, I’m not leaving)

(7:07) I will keep you safe, my dear
Protect you from the shame, and the pain, and fear
We’ll always be together. You’ll never have to walk this road alone
I’ll be right here. I will be around so that you may live and no one else will hurt you, dear

(8:06) I’ll be here, so you may live
I’ll be here, so you may live
