Oh Child

Verse One [Gremlin]
She was a young teenager,
Socially awkward so all the girls would hate her
They'd call her names
And made her feel ashamed
But not before they slammed her on the pavement
Face first
They made everyday worse,
So she started cutting with the blade to restrain all her anger
But there was a reason she was stranger
When she was a little girl, a relative raper her
And she couldn't forget it
As hard as she tried
She just sat on the bed in the dark and she cried
Cried out to god and everytime she screamed why
She can't move forward 'cause her mind rewinds
Started giving up on school and was falling behind
Knew that she shouldn't miss but couldn't decide
On whether or not she should live or just die
'Cause nobody knew how she was feeling inside

Refrain [Devaroux]
Oh Child,
I hope you know
You'll never have to take on this life alone
Oh Child,
I'll help you grow,
Into a burning flame in this world so cold

Verse two [Gremlin]
She was struggling with low self-esteem
And couldn't never sleep without promethazine
'Cause she didn't want to see all of those hellish dreams
And have to relive all of those helpless screams
But the scene replays
Every damn day
So every day she would see his face
She tries to escape but can't beat his pace
And now she wants to leave this place
She's becoming suicidal
'Cause she feels neglected
Not even the bible can make her feel accepted
That god wasn't right 'cause he left her unprotected
But loved him despite like he never even stepped in
With all of her might
She tries not to end it
And still had a smile and tried to hold it all together
Until she was so sick of the pain that she laid on a traintrack
Suicide was on her mind and there's no way back
She broke down on the phone to her mom and explained it
The crazy part was
She related
She understood what she was feeling
'Cause it happened to her too and hearing that was healing
Quick change of heart
It was in that instant
That she tried to leave there
But her foot slipped and the train came hit her
Split her in half
Hit her so hard
It didn't gave her a chance
To quickly react or to feel the impact
And just like that
Instantly detached from her body and planet
An heartbroken mother
I'll never understand how the world let her suffer
Instead of helping they hurt her
And I call that murder
The very last words that she heard were:

Refrain [Devaroux]
Oh Child,
I hope you know
You'll never have to take on this life alone
Oh Child,
I'll help you grow,
Into a burning flame in this world so cold
