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
