They whip my wrists,
Asking for the truth

Snickering, laughing,
At what they see,

Sticking pins in me,
Watching my terrible secrets,
Spill out with the blood

Snickering, laughing,
At what they see,

Forcing me to walk,
Throughout the day,
Throughout the night,

Snickering, laughing,
At what they see

No more blood will be shed,
With the final bang

I was forgotten,
Another useless rag,
Thrown in the fire
