Gone, gone is your mama
My warm hands feel you over
My words help you believe
Don't, don't tell your mama
Little girl, daughter, surrender
Little girl, haunted by things
Am I the cause of your insomnia?
Breaker of dreams that you won't give up on?
Am I the cause of your insomnia?
Breaker of dreams, breaker of dreams
that remind you of...
Watch, watch out for father
He's a blade
Sharpen your wits, girl
You're afraid, but don't be afraid
I won't, won't let him hurt you
Like an inerrant animal, he beat you
Not a word
This happens no more
Am I the cause of your insomnia?
Breaker of dreams that you won't give up on?
Am I the cause of your insomnia?
Breaker of dreams, breaker of dreams
that remind you of...
Girl! What's with your sister?
She's silent
What have you told her?
Not a word
I'll see for sure!
Run...go tell your mama
She's the one...helps me recover...
I'm the one...
