Little doll, upon a wall
Sitting for so long
A wooden shelf, a plastic frame
Wanting to belong

"Neglect me out of passion
Neglect me out of shame
The dust shall fall upon us all
And only clouds remain"

Little doll, upon a wall
With hands flat by her side
A red-stained dress, and spotted shoes
Big black pearly eyes

"Detestfully, I chide these days
This shelf is turning raw
The rust and mold grows thick and cold
My fingers will not thaw"

Little doll, upon a wall
With innocence and pride
Wanting no more, but to be born
And live a loving life

"Wishes will not lather
Our own hypocrisy
For what I wished would happen
Is farfetched reality"

Little doll, upon a wall
And now the room is bare
Stripped of all the toys and games
A statement; no one cares

Wallpaper used to warm thee
The princess bed brought pleasant dreams
And while the other dolls would only stare
They'd still be company

Little doll, the wall is yours
There’s so much more to life
This room may now abuse you
But others are in sight

Give it time, to heal a wound
The clock will mend your bones
Bruised like youthful memories
Broken like this home

"Saturate my heartache
Drenched in kerosene
So easy, to ignite myself
In blessings, set me free

With hands stretched out in prayer
Aside the bed, along the floor
I'm praying louder than I ever have
I'm feeling worse than days before

What inspiration moves me
What strength will break these chains
This world's so uncomfortable
So I reside in pain"

Your wish may seem a memory
And hopes may feel so small
But time is here to mend you
Little doll, upon a wall

Your heart will keep on beating
And your body shall prevail
Please know that I am with you
I will not let you fail

Doctor clock is coming
With memories and love
But you keep on destroying
With sedatives and drugs

So beautiful and flawless
Be not afraid to cry
Little doll, upon a wall
You were never made to die
