Daddy Daddy

Daddy Daddy

I feel like I got lost somehow

Now I struggle around

Lose myself in the sound

Of songs

I always lost myself around you

Tried to forget the things you do

How you hit to get through

Now I ride the train in circles

With knives in my eyes

Erasing your lies

Learning the truth

I’m not worthless

I’m not meant to be used

Not a creature created for abuse

I drain the bottle

Close my eyes and follow

The child who got left behind

Back in my room

When you broke the mirror

Smashed my skin

I sit and wait

The I see when I went away

Drove me out

Now I ride the A train

A vampire built by fire

The soul is recovering

Like a junkie

I have to fight to be free

To forgive

What is left dead

Hanging by childhood

Where I lay in the grass

Trying to remember what’s good

I close my eyes

Ride in circles

Don’t worry

I’ll always cry
