I lost my innocence as a child
In a dark and evil room
I was the victim of a sick bastard
Who replaced my happiness with gloom
I was a bright and happy lad
Who enjoyed all that life did bring
But when the adult crushed my soul
No longer of frivolity would I sing
I was but five when fear did come
Bringing me monsters more evil than Satan
I tried my best to just forget the time
When I foolishly took that man’s hand
I shut my mind to escape the pain
My body was pinned beneath his weight
I was never prepared to lose my trust
Or to learn so quickly the meaning of hate
My body was broken but not my spirit
So I blackened my memory of the attack
It wasn’t until thirty years later
That I could finally remember back
Though life goes on without a doubt
And we’re taught to forgive and forget
If I were to encounter the monster of my past
You can be assured he’d wish we never met
I urge you to listen to your child
Despite how crazy his words might sound
For imagination spawns from some truth
Especially when monsters are lurking around
