Swollen above its banks
The black waters threaten
All in their path
Poisonous
Corrosive
Diseased
The waters of hate and rage
Ever growing
Swelling
A crashing tumultous flood
Flashing by, a boat
Struggling
To stay upright and afloat
A look of anguish on the pilots face
I recognize him
It is me
The waters churn and spin
Hissing with glee
The boat flips
I see myself fall
And drown in my own pain.
Where everything just clicked?
When you just felt happy?
You know, one of those moments
Those special ones
A Kodak moment
I had one once, I think
Everything in life was great
Things were keen
But it had to end, as all such do
The moment was shattered when I opened my eyes
And screamed
The giant holding me looked down
Turned and handed me to another
Said "It's a boy..."
My hell began that day
The happiness I knew before I existed
I've never known again.
(song lyrics)
What was I to do?
Don't you worry, baby sister
I'll take care of you
Daddy's drunk and on the floor
And mommy's all spun out
The man of the house is two years old
And wandering about
Why does daddy only snore
And mommy only stare?
Why do they ignore the lovley children?
Why does no one care?
The little one cries at night
Hungry as can be
No one hears the little girl
That is, no one else but me
With hands too small I tried so hard
To feed that baby girl
No one else I ever loved more
In all the wide wide world
....
