Childhood
The shivers
That come with the night
Imprison me
I’ve no will to fight
A lifetime of lies
Has made its mark
When the moon will rise
I am a child, afraid of the dark
Teddy, oh Teddy
Will your softness provide
The shelter that I need
From the monsters that hide
Underneath my bed
And where the shadows lie
At the end of the day
I am still afraid to die
Hold me
Or I’ll disappear
I fight this disease
Year after year
And they all said
I am so strong
But when my blood runs cold
They’ll know they were wrong
Mommy, oh Mommy
Will your sweet love provide
The shelter that I need
From the monsters that hide
Underneath my bed
And where the shadows lie
At the end of the day
I am still afraid to die
Daddy, oh Daddy
Will your abuse provide
The very skills I need
To attempt to survive
Wounds that you made
When you told me to die
At the end of the day
Your addiction is satisfied
That come with the night
Imprison me
I’ve no will to fight
A lifetime of lies
Has made its mark
When the moon will rise
I am a child, afraid of the dark
Teddy, oh Teddy
Will your softness provide
The shelter that I need
From the monsters that hide
Underneath my bed
And where the shadows lie
At the end of the day
I am still afraid to die
Hold me
Or I’ll disappear
I fight this disease
Year after year
And they all said
I am so strong
But when my blood runs cold
They’ll know they were wrong
Mommy, oh Mommy
Will your sweet love provide
The shelter that I need
From the monsters that hide
Underneath my bed
And where the shadows lie
At the end of the day
I am still afraid to die
Daddy, oh Daddy
Will your abuse provide
The very skills I need
To attempt to survive
Wounds that you made
When you told me to die
At the end of the day
Your addiction is satisfied
