FORBIDDEN CRIES
You said, "Come on! Let's go for a ride!"
before I could even think, you reached behind my back
to slip something in my drink.
I started to say, "No", and I didn't want to leave,
As I opened my mouth to say those words to refuse,
those words just wouldn't come out.
You lifted me and carried me off into some strange, dark place.
I started to leave the conscious world, I barely remember your face.
I felt sharp pains everywhere, pains I don't understand.
When I tried to struggle free, my face sharply met your hand.
You dropped me off, don't ask me how I found my home that night.
I didn't know if it was my fault, what you did was not right.
What you took, I'll never get back and I want you to know,
I'll live with the guilt for the rest of my life
for not being able to say, "No."
So when you want to sleep, and think about closing your eyes,
I want you to think about me, and all my forbidden cries.
