There once was a white wedding

It was small and quaint

The bride was a sinner

And the groom was a saint

They had a lovely daughter

A daughter with no name

This is how it started

With this couple's wedding day

.

They had a son already

But he moved far away

And they loved their daughter so

They wanted her to stay

.

They hid her for the world

And hid her from its greed

Together they decided that

Their love was all she'd need.

.

As a child she was happy

Except for the lonely nights

Because the wooden walls were thin

And she could hear their fights

.

As she got older, through the years

She never saw the sun

She got bolder, shed less tears,

She was going to run.

.

A week before her escape took place

Her mother overdosed

And with heavy head and heavy heart

Her plan went comatose.

.

Her days were filled with mourning

Her nights with muffled screams

Her dad was more and more depressed

Her life was a bad dream

.

About a month later

When her dad was supposed to be working

Her brother came home with red rimmed eyes

Not his usual smirking

.

Her dad had passed away in grief

It couldn't be more wrong

Now her brother was her guardian

And all she had left was a song

.

"Rain drops keep fallin' on my head,"

Her mother used to sing

Now her bed sheets were soaked red

Oh! The pain a knife could bring

.

In his sadness her brother snapped

He beat her black and blue

She begged him and pleaded with him to stop

But he was never through

.

One day when he was drinking

She sang herself a tune

She laughed at something no one heard

And said she'd see them soon

.

Her momma was a sinner, her daddy was a saint

The blood on the floor was oh so red that it looked like paint

The brother took one too many pills

The sister realized how innocence kills

And she hummed to herself, dreaming of the sun

She went into the kitchen and got her daddy's gun

Cocked it, shot the bullet straight through her brain

Finally relieved that her escape was done

On the grave read The Girl With No Name...

And that was the only time her frail body saw the sun

And that's the story of The Girl Who Went Insane.
