Childhood Lyrics

The shivers

That come with the night

Imprison me

I've no will to fight

A lifetime of lies

Has made its mark

When the moon will rise

I am a child, afraid of the dark

Teddy, oh Teddy

Will your softness provide

The shelter that I need

From the monsters that hide

Underneath my bed

And where the shadows lie

At the end of the day

I am still afraid to die

Hold me

Or I'll disappear

I fight this disease

Year after year

And they all said

I am so strong

But when my blood runs cold

They'll know they were wrong

Mommy, oh Mommy

Will your sweet love provide

The shelter that I need

From the monsters that hide

Underneath my bed

And where the shadows lie

At the end of the day

I am still afraid to die

Daddy, oh Daddy

Will your abuse provide

The very skills I need

To attempt to survive

Wounds that you made

When you told me to die

At the end of the day

Your addiction is satisfied
