Splinter Anna
I know a place, locked doors, windows & gates White tiles and gray... desparing scenery And I know a face, young girl, out of place Saddened & strange Makes no sounds at all locked away just like a doll. - Anna woke today Rubs her eyes is so afraid And she wonders why she stays With the other kids in the mental wing Poor Anna, sits and waits. - Slave to the bore Pills...they just bring me more Ears hear no sounds, memories just bring be down And I see them with toys Parents with girls and boys Sleepy they read Promised to visit me Repeating in my memory - Anna loves to wave Watches them most everyday And she wonder when she'll play with the other kids But she thinks of better days If she could she'd run away But she screams aloud and says "I'm not like the other kids" In the mental wing, for Anna sits and waits - I know a place Young girl, tears on her face Saddened it's strange She makes no sounds at all... - Anna sleeps today Cradles up and slips away And I wonder what she takes to reduce the pain And her memories of Anna...slowly fade
