You say you love the baby
Her little bitty baby form
You say the things I want to hear
And yet I am not pleased
You said you loved me, baby
Like you could never love another
And somehow now I find myself
Strewn upon this garbage heap
The looking glass can’t see the past
It’s too late for you now
And though you were justified to have tried,
I’ve detached myself from the umbilical cord
Another night, and nightmares plague me
Of how you left me with my weeping
And the knowledge of what’s behind your smile:
The lonely heart of a forlorn child
Daddy, Daddy, can’t you hear me?
The baby’s lying on the floor
Her heart flutters lighter than an angel’s wing
I see my face reflected back
Her face haunts my slumbers
And together we are one and the same
I could lie, but I know the truth:
I am the monster from the depths of my dreams
