They took me away
Dressed me in white
Devoured in darkness
To cry alone at night

I'd lie awake
And never sleep
The screams
The screams
The screams
... they haunt me in the wounds so
deep

And can hear her sobbing
Shouting for her rescue
But I fear
There's nothing I can do

My cloth and plastic pillow
Absorb my tears
And her screaming piercing the silence
... she's afraid of her fears

She's so close to me
Yet so far away
So on the cool floor
I lay

The eerie voices return
When she finally quiets down
Everyone's asleep
They don't hear a sound

My white room shadowed
Swallowing everything of me
So I scream, "Someone help her!"
Blinded, I couldn't see

Her yelps were fading in and out
My mind mixed and confused
I wanted to make it stop
I'd nothing to lose

Just what I was afraid of
They didn't even listen
Morning time arrived
The sun rays glistened

They found her dead
No knife, no stake
No needles or blood
Her death was their mistake
