Little Doll © 2005

Wide mouths and vicious teeth
Rabid dogs and underneath
Their paws the ground is harsh and unforgiving

The little doll lies still
Bent into an awkward pose
Without the strength or will
Only watched as the sun rose
And fell as she was trampled on
By icy hearts and those brave
Buffoons who try to capture them
She waits to find her grave

Chattel birds warble songs
Each one knows where she belongs
Within the cage of ugly names and lies

The little doll lies still
Bent into an awkward pose
Without the strength or will
Only watched as the sun rose
And fell as she was trampled on
By icy hearts and those brave
Buffoons who try to capture them
She waits to find her grave

Lame dog takes her by the hand
Absent vision in elusive land
Simple question or demand
Her fate she does consign

Little doll all alone
Battered and broken and far from home

Who told you I would play this game
Who told you I was still for sale
You're still my friend but my heart is gone
Did you forget what that would entail
I simply can't go through with this
I'm sorry but I'm not available
Take your pride and go away
Your burning words too quickly fail
