So Gone
Her feet slap the pavement
She sings a short tune
Twirling the rope in circles
Over and under, again and again
She knows not the evil
Of the damned world she lives in
The innocence fills her heart
Daddy's little girl
So sweet.
Her feet slap the pavement
She runs down the road
Friends turned against her
She can still hear their laughter
A little older, a little taller
She sits in the summer sun
She knows little of the evil
Of the damned world she lives in
Innocence fading, slowly fading
Daddy's little girl
So alone.
Her feet slap the pavement
Her heart again broken
She'll never know trust
Not like she used to
Tears stream down her cheeks
She knows much evil
Of the damned world she lives in
Innocence crumbling, little left
Daddy's little girl
So scared.
Her feet slap the pavement
Blood trickles down her arms
She gave in to the blade
Darkness cloaks her skinny frame
She didn't mean to go that deep
She knew she wouldn't make it
Not this time
She knows too much evil
Of this damned world she lives in
No innocence left
Daddy's little girl
So broken.
Her feet no longer slap the pavement
Her cold corpse lays there
Still, finally at peace
Soul corrupted, yet heaven's new angel
God's little soldier lost the war
There goes another fighter
She was perfect to everyone
Everyone but herself
She just couldn't take it
Innocence dead
Society killed Daddy's little girl
So gone.
