Look at her, our little one
At her smile, her shining eyes
A little more our little one
Soon you'll meet us eye to eye

Do you hear us little one?
Silent murmurs barely there
A bit more closer little one
We never mean to scare

Listen now our little one
Hear what we have to say
Hear us out oh little one
We'll be with you all day

Yes it's true our little one
Do you think we'd ever lie?
Wipe your tears our little one
No truth is worth the cry

Does it hurt oh sweet little one?
We never meant to make it so
Take our hand dearest little one
Soon the hurt will go

Can you feel us little one?
How we push and pull your thoughts
How we love you our dear little one
How you listen to things you're not

Why do you cry sad little one?
Have we not told you what to do?
Smile and smile only pretentious one
Smile when scream is all you wish to do

Gasp for air sweet little one
With every breath we'll drown you more
No use shouting helpless little one
It will only make you sore

You're pathetic darling little one
Do you think they ever cared?
You're naive, little disgraceful one
Ugly, weak, unloved, and scared

Believe us darling little one
Never listen to any else
Let us surround you little one
Soon you'll be one with angels

Is it too much little lonely one?
Does your heart cry out in pain?
Only we will hear you little one
Only we can make you sane

Do you want rest little troubled one?
We can give you what you ask
Just surrender hopeless little one
Such a simple, easy task

Doesn't it look lovely little one?
How bright the light is on our world
Let us hold you now little one
We'll end the pain, mark our word

Grab your toy then little one
The one that shines against pale skin
With one stroke we'd have finally won
With one stroke on vein, paper thin
