Sad Sad Tale

Its different here and i am very brand new The faces, the lights and the air is it too good to be true Everybodies happy and excited to see me now All the smiles and adoration I wonder if I should take a bow I'm two and life is good I ride a tricycle all over my neighborhood I'm five and somethings not quite right I think there is a terrible creature that comes into my bedroom at night I'm ten and I'm trapped in a body that does not match my mind Now I know there is a monster and he wasn't too hard to find A foe in blood relation took my threats of unveiling to heed I was a lifeless eleven year old when he stopped the terrible deed Such a pretty smile yet she hides fire in her eyes If you look deeper you will see a Sad, Sad, Tale there lies
