lyrics

He smiled a smile of secrecy
His lips were cold as ice
I dreamed that I was dreaming
But someday he'll pay the price

His hands smelled of gasoline
And they were rough as sand
He stole into my darkened room
I couldn't understand

The dogs downstairs are barking
like they have something to say
Hush child, don't you cry
We're here, we're here to stay

You spell out stories on my skin
with callused fingertips
We play and share a wonderland
of knights and battleships

Your old and should know better
But history repeats
itself if we're not careful
under ironed children's sheets

The dogs downstairs are barking
like they have something to say
Hush child, don't you cry
Don't run, don't run away

I don't want to forgive you
I give you the gift of goodbye
I watch the sun break through the clouds
Today is the first day of the rest of my life

The dogs downstairs are barking
like they have something to say
Come child, come outside
Come outside to play
