looking through my eyes

looking through my eyes and i see
the man standing at the foot of my bed
looking through my eyes and you will see
the father who is a monster
looking through my eyes and you will see
the man sitting on top of me
looking through my eyes and you will see
the mother trying to choke me
looking through my eyes and you will see
the razor in my hand
looking through my eyes and you will see
the tears flowing like a river
looking through my eyes and you will see
the girl reaching out to be free
looking through my eyes and you will see
the girl reaching out to be comfort
looking through my eyes and you will see
the girl dieing to be loved
looking through my eyes and you will see
the girl sitting alone in the corner
looking through my eyes
