Pretty Grim Girl

Pretty little grim girl No one knew her well She spent long days And cold hard nights All alone in her cell Pretty little grim girl In her tattered dress of lace With her dark make-up She wore to hide The scars upon her face Pretty little grim girl Cried tears of cold regret Lying in a pool of blood Waiting for an answer To her pain she'd soon forget Pretty little grim girl Misunderstood by all A criminal, a nightmare They mocked her This girl began to fall Pretty little grim girl Hid her feelings well Showed no pain when they mocked her But it all bled through Once alone in her cell Pretty little grim girl Had no will for life She soon would end it all With the icy fate Of a cold, sharp knife Pretty little grim girl Dancing in the rain As the blood poors down She finally found an answer An answer to her pain Pretty little grim girl Threw her life a way Thought it would erase the pain But only brought despair To yet another dying day
