LAYLA'S WORLD
BEING IRRELEVANT BITS AND RELEVANT PIECES OF LETTERS FROM LAYLA,
WHO DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT WHAT YOU THINK UNLESS YOU'RE REAL AND COOOL
for the next confrontation
cuz he gets off
on putting me down
so I'm hesitating
switching through the stations
with the headphones on
I won't make a sound
maybe he'll forget I'm in here
maybe I'll forget he's out there
maybe he won't come inside me tonight
maybe he won't hit me
maybe I'll just die of fear
daddy why
when will you let me go
daddy why
when I'm eighteen, I know
I'll be out of here
you won't find me
all I want right now
is to live till then
this is how
I pee in a bottle
so I don't have to open the door
cuz he's out there
waiting to take some more
he calls it his throttle
says he likes to ram it down
I'm supposed to swallow
and not make a sound
daddy why
can't you find someone else
daddy why
someone more like yourself
I don't want to be
scarred for all time
already so much
I live in fear
of your touch
when you want me to scream
fuck me harder, fuck me please
when you want me to beg
when I'm down on my knees
you get all that you want
I wonder if you know
just how fucked I feel
when you come, when you go
like a used rag you toss aside
after screwing with your car
at least you love your car
we don't get that far
daddy why
was it something I said
daddy why
was it something I did
my whole life is a lie
I just want to be a kid
I just want to die
but you keep me alive
oh daddy why
daddy why
he's out there waiting
for the next invitation
he slightest sound
gives him a reason
to come in here yelling
to blame me for doing
what he's gonna do
but it isn't true
maybe he'll forget I'm in here
maybe I'll forget he's out there
maybe he won't come inside me tonight
maybe he won't hit me
maybe I'll just die of fear
daddy why
when will you let me go
daddy why
when I'm eighteen, I know
I'll be out of here
you won't find me
all I want right now
is to live till then
this is how
daddyy
it's our little secret
you say don't ask you why
so when I write your name
I spell it like this
so everyone will know
daddyy has a secret
why doesn't it show
daddyy has a secret
daddy won't let me go
I just want to be invisible
I live inside my head
it's the only place that is mine
the only place I'm not dead
I write my secret diaries
they're hidden under my bed
maybe someday somebody will read them
if the pages don't get too red
if someone puts them on the web
daddy why
don't you stop when I'm bleeding
daddy why
it's your child that you're seeding
isn't anyone reading
doesn't anyone care
is anybody there
does anybody hear
do you care?
daddyy why
don't they care
daddyy why
are you here
doesn't anybody see
the fear in my eyes
daddyy why does this world
allow you to do what you do
to me
daddyy why
oh daddy why
daddyy why
Daddyy Why
