Asleep in the bed dreaming
what kids dream about,
something wakes you up
you start to shout.
Then you see your daddy,
you think he's there to hold,
instead he slaps you silly
says "Do what you are told."
He tears off your panties
and you begin to cry
"If you make a sound" he says
"Then you'll have to die."
Then you start to struggle as
you feel him touch you there
but you can not get away,
is this a nightmare?
I thought that he loved me,
my daddy hurt me instead,
used me like a little whore,
I wished I was dead.
So I went to the basement
and climbed up on the shelves,
put the wires around my neck
so I could kill myself.
If only he hadn't found me,
if only he hadn't took me down,
I'd be free of the nightmares,
why did he cut me down?
Then he started selling me
to anyone with a beer,
his own little daughter
now lives in fear.
I'm 38 years old now
and still the nightmares reign,
the terror of innocence lost,
the crushing, horrifying pain.
