My Whole Life

Two in the morn, fast asleep on the floor.

Monster creeps in, dark shadows through the door.

Little nightgown, one would think I would roar.

The dark secrets, I will keep no more.

My whole life, all my days. What I've known, where I'll stay. Release my body, so my soul may bounce. Prey, a little birdie. Predator waiting to Pounce.

On the playground, little boys’ hands reach down.

Sneak in my pants, wait to cry; silent frown.

Hide in the grass, pray the roots make me drown.

Call up my mom, wish we would leave town.

Release my body, so my soul may bounce. Prey, a little birdie. Predator waiting to Pounce.

Veiled in covers, they can’t know about me.

I am ashamed, hide my face, they can’t see.

I won’t tell them, If I do I will flee.

Conceal your acts, ignore my decree.

Release my body, so my soul may bounce. Prey, a little birdie. Predator waiting to Pounce.

Strangers online, car parked in the dark street.

Sneaking out late, feeling incomplete.

Beg to go home, should’ve been more discrete.

Talk to the cops, the feeling unsweet.

Release my body, so my soul may bounce. Prey, a little birdie. Predator waiting to Pounce.
