Little Girl Lost

Little girl lost,
Where have you been?
Little girl lost,
Where are you going?

Everybody’s wondering
You’ve been gone for so long
You say you saw demons and monsters
They only see in dreams

You say you flirted with death
Exchanged your breath
For a little bit of respite
Because hell is one hell of a life

They danced around you
Like you’re surrounded by broken glass
Then one said, “I’ve been there, too, I know what to do”
You say you thought, “Fuck you, little lass.
No need to be an ass
But you had to go there, didn’t you?
Say that I’m just ungrateful and teenage blue.”

No one saw your cocktail of happy and calm-the-shit-down pills
Midnight soda spills...
Just for a shot of caffeine
You say fuck the rules, fuck the pain.

Little girl lost, we miss you.
You aren’t coming back, are you?
They say you’ve got a new normal
Where everyone thinks you’re abnormal

Little girl lost, they’ve no right to judge you
They haven’t seen what you’ve seen.
They’ve no right to belittle you.
They haven’t been where you’ve been.

And I know the truth
Though you've set your roots
Underground
Little girl lost, you just want to be found
