"I never forgot my past that lead me here. Such a bitter tale I hesitate to tell it. Yet, as it is with everything, one must understand the past to understand the present. What chance does a child have against all the evil of the world? Once a soul is broken already as a sapling, how could it grow into anything pure?"
I'm just a child, please, don't hurt me anymore Bruised up by the hands that should shelter me from harm Every night, I fear the sound of footsteps closing in And the shadows cast from the opening doorway
Under my bed, a sanctuary from the monsters that haunt me I feel no pain; the shame has hardened my skin Inside my head, a thousand screams and an urge to break free No use in praying; the gods won't hear a word that we say
Nothing ever changed, broken; I remained weak and small Always finding myself abused by those to whom I fall for Every night, a dream where the things I yearn for are withering away And it seems to me, (that) the dream has turned into reality
Day after day, I find myself in the streets again I feel no shame; the pain has hardened my mind Inside my head, a thousand screams and an urge to break free No use in praying
So what if it hurts, so what if you're broken? You have always made it through, (I) thought you never believed in happy endings
So scream at the world and let it all come out There's no shame in being weak You never believed that life is perfect
