Everything Burns
Or
How little Miss Parker became the Ice Queen
Song from Ben Moody feat. Anastacia


She sits in her corner
Singing herself to sleep
Wrapped in all of the promises
That no one seems to keep


Everything is quiet
The tunnel is illuminated with weak, soft light
Her face is hidden in the darkness
As she`s sitting there
Alone. Lonely.
Her eyes closed. Her head leaning back
On the hard, cold grating

Mommy, where are you? Mommy, don`t you hear me?
Come back
You can`t leave me here
Mommy...
...You promised

You can hear her silent whimper.
Tears are running down her cheek

Daddy, why are you doing this? Daddy, donīt you see me?
Iīm here
What do I have to do?
What?
So that you notice me.
Daddy...
Itīs me
Your little daughter

She no longer cries to herself
No tears left to wash away
Just diaries of empty pages
Feelings gone astray


Dumbly she stares into the dark
Immovable

Give it back to me
My heart
Give it back to me
The joy
Why do you do this to me?
Mommy,
Don`t leave
Daddy,
Give me your hand

Walking through life unnoticed
Knowing that no one cares
Too consumed in their masquerade
No one sees her there
And still she sings


Daddy,
Why are you like that?
Am I not your little angel ?
Didnīt you say I can trust in you?
I cry out
You do not notice anything
There is only you
You are everything
But not by my side
All is important to you
But Iīm
Not

But she will sing
Til everything burns
While everyone screams
Burning their lies
Burning my dreams
All of this hate
And all of this pain
I'll burn it all down
As my anger reigns
Til everything burns


She stands upright
Her icy eyes flashing
Cold, resolutely
Her gaze resolved
Firm
Straightened forward
At the end
Of the tunnel
Where the light shines into it
In all the darkness

I wonīt cry anymore
No,
I am strong




THE END
