Learn your place
You better learn your place, girl
It doesn't matter if a smile no longer
Visits your face.
Learn your place, girl
You better learn you don't really matter here anyway.
Do you really matter anywhere?
You better learn your place, girl
At least your little ones are smiling
They don't know your pain.
But you better learn your place before the monsters come back.
Once the monsters come back that's it you're gone.
Learn your place
Or they will teach you
Better than I ever could
You know you're nothing
They know it to
So you better act right
Put on that mask
Learn your place, little girl
It's better to keep the monsters at bay.
Keep them trapped inside your hide where no one can see paint your mask so no one will see them trying to get out.

The Final Blow
And just like that the camel's back was broken Puncturing the spinal cord snapping the brainal column dislocating brain from spine trigging a domino effect of death to all organs with no warning the pain phenomenal as the body shut down, unexpected and unarmed so gullible She was yet this naive child willingly blinded herself to follow the misleading candy trail of bribery the boy thoughtfully planted out leading the girl to her torture so foolish all in hopes of true love HA, silly dreamer girl it only fueled all the fears all horrible nightmares to become reality Never should she have submitted to ignorance resentfully she died broken for the final time.
