Broken Lullaby

Broken lullaby
in a world of broken dreams
hear the silent cries
of a girl who cannot scream 

who dances in the flames 
and cries crimson regret 
who lives unashamed 
in her mother's silhouette 

learning from a being 
poisoned to the core
with prejudice and seeing
an evil not yet born 

The mirror is but lies
and every time she sees
what's showing on the outside 
she lets out her final scream

Broken lullaby
they cannot hear you now 
there's no story tonight 
so fly away to the clouds
