Sittin' alone in the dark she wait's
For the next in a bottomless well
Recalling the day when Mother sold her
To the monster, that dragged her to hell
And she fights back the tears that reveal her pain
But the bruises are starting to swell.
And she wonders if freedom will ever be hers
In the Dollhouse you never can tell.
Then the door opens wide and a man steps inside
And he motions for her to begin
She wipes dry her eyes and starts with the lies
And lays on a bed laced with sin
And she's just a baby, she'll never know freedom again
Still she hopes that maybe someday she'll feel love
Without the pain...Without the pain
Lying alone in her bed she cries
And the tears slowly roll down her cheek
Recalling the days of laughter and life
And she hates herself for being so weak
Now she pulls the tube tight and exposes the vein
And she plunges the needle in deep
Cause the next one is only a moment away
In the Dollhouse where nobody sleeps
Now she's feeling alright, the snake starts to bite
And the pain washes slowly away
But something ain't right, she puts up a fight
She's feeling her life slip away
And she's just a baby, she'll never know freedom at all
But she hopes now maybe that Heaven will catch her as she falls…
As she falls
