lyrics

She’s standing in the foyer
Hard pressed against the door
Small hands clenching
…ready for war
After a morning of screaming

He won’t confess
He's just leaving

Dust settles on his echoes
The pleading
Pitiful.
He’s weeping to make it visual.

I could be in the mirror it's so visceral

She’s 6. He’s 40.
Justifying his actions by believing he is six
How torturing

Grabbing onto my wrists
Now seething.
My silence is his last beating

The birth of rage
Is a child’s vengeance
crashing down

She’s thinking,
“It’s been a few years of this
Now, it's just confusing
Why I covered up so many tears
Training for this abusing”

Her six year old mind sounds like mine

Six feels unworthy
Bad
Dirty
body slumped down
As if she’s the one who's 40

Who will be charged for this crime, when,
Her anger becomes my shrine

An earlier time trailed
Vividly in through her mind
She went visiting,
Down her old timeline
her very own yellow brick road

She goes
To where there is hope
In a three-year old
Walking down that yellow road
Complete
Plastic baby in tow

sometimes, a six year old soul
Transcends out to the street
To find a three year old
Who she is dying to meet
