Eyes That Only See Sorrow

Living a life one motel room at a time

Crying for food but not the kind for mouths

Hungry for love, the love we all crave

One man enters and one man leaves

Carting around this child like she's just one more thing

Just another hassel it's surprising how much you do care

A little girl shouldn't have to see her mother like this

Under the body of a new 'John' every night

Every night hoping that daddy will come back

As these men never turn out to be her long gone hero

Beaten down and spat upon

Treated like a dog they don't even know of her exsistence

Hidding in a closet amongst all the horror

Seeing all the motions, a corruption takes place

Stealing the youth and innocence of a young mind

Watching as mommy gets rapped over and over again

For a few dollars so that she can eat shit the next day

Sweat stained sheets cover itchy little legs when they've gone

Longing whole heatedly for someone to care

Just to show up and take her away

Away from all the madness that follows like a stalker

Like all the men who come and make her mother moan

Crying out like some sort of beast

She doesn't know it but inside her mother is really crying

Faking the motion is a metaphor for her reality

These eyes of a child that only know sorrow

She's never had a christmas or gone to disneyland

Locked away in a rat hole for all her life

Never learning a thing of the world only of its pain

How men can be so cruel and life so unforgiving

Breaking hearts are now numb to all sensation

As love was never there and never will be

The innocence inside this childs soul is lost forever

Never to return like the parts of her mother she threw away

Only caring to make enough to live one more day

The drugs and empty bottles begin to add up

Pushing mommy to wake up and pull down her skirt

How could you put a child through this nightmare?

Seeing it over and over she is now food for the wolves

As bad dreams sneek in and snatch her joy away

Such a sad sad story for such a small small girl

Throw away your dollies now it's time to go again

A brand new city with the same old diseases

Caught in a web of perversion it won't be long now

Until this little girl grows up to be just as her life bringer

Another whore in a world of sick infatuations

Burn this stinch away as no one cares for the consequences

Alone like all those nights were she saw too much

The pain remains forever as there is no one there

Solitude is your enemy as you now take on one man at a time

Giving your life away like it doesn't matter

You don't see how beautiful you really are

So these eyes that only saw sorrow will only see more

As the circle of abuse continues, and the sin lingers on
