you are sunshine
you are mommy's sunshine
hush little baby, don't you cry
I will be up for you all night
above you there's a sky full of stars
ahead of you all the wondrous life
bring meaning to my being
teach me how to love living
mother, mother
you're mommy's sunshine
don't spoil it for me with your cry
bring light to my sorrow, be the joy, sunshine
you're mommy's, mommy's sunshine
hush, little baby, hush…
hush...
mother, mother
you are sunshine
my sunshine

I love mommy above all
I want to give her a flower
I love daddy above all
I want to be his good, good, good, good girl
you've been brought here by the ones
to whom you entrust your being
but there are others, let me show you
let me tell you how to befriend them
and she loves me when I behave
when I stay clean, calm and obey
and he loves me when I am nice
when I please him with my smile
they like you, if you behave
you should listen and adjust
we'd love to show you, we'd love to teach you
how you will become the world
I love my mum above all
I want to make her prouder
I love my dad above all
I need to stay his good, good, good, good girl
and she loves me when I behave
when I stay clean, calm and obey
and he loves me when I am nice
when I please him with my smile

by hand we'll take her, she's already come to age
we'll break, then mold and leash her as she breaks
your game has been long but ended
we will take it from here
obey what's preached and die happy in the end
fed on illusions
trapped by their vows
it's a vicious demand to give up myself
manipulated mislead
I'm longing for acceptance, to be seen, to be heard
I'm dreaming of affection, how can I earn your love?
if I give in, will you let me be?
will you let me be?
there are many plans we have with you
and none of those would you had ever wanted
we will guide you, we will shape you
to lead by example, you are what fuels us and what makes us stronger
stand in line and await your instructions
fed on illusions
trapped by their vows
it's a vicious demand to give up myself
manipulated mislead
I cannot let you
I cannot let you make me
I cannot let you take

she reaches out, so naive
gazes too far beyond
let her dream, let her lose herself
let her jump off her life's edge
and never touch dirt again
by birth I've got a chance to try
one and only attempt to fly
high, higher, higher, higher, higher, touching the stars
caution, steep way down, it's a one way ride
touch your stars, fly away
never look back
touch your stars, fly away
not first, not last
I just need to keep up
work hard on self-improvement
be nicer, smarter, thinner, ideal…
thus nearing my triumph
a day must come when I will leave behind all my deficiencies
would I finally earn my happily ever after?
I envision a huge crowd of people
all gazing upon me with tears in their eyes
deeply moved, compassionate
all their faces covered in bright light as I shine
I am loved at last
it all comes so naturally…
as if they were predestined to take the same path
the path a single tear takes while following the current
time and time again they revolt
they feel the need to destroy everything
everything that was built for them and what for?
it never stops
the stream never stops
submission is strongly required
time will enforce it
a day must come when I will leave behind all my deficiencies
would I finally earn my happily ever after?
touch your stars, fly away
never look back
touch your stars, fly away
not first, not last

empty bodies, ghostly figures
hollow shells made of flesh
devoid of meaning, saved from the burden of thought
devoid of reason, left to exist with no remorse
the pungent smell, the rot of mind
they gradually decline
another cycle, another set
in succession they had succumbed
the barely hanging minds drugged to a dream state
dependent, weak, fragile, beaten to a wreck
they are the rotted
empty bodies, ghostly figures
hollow shells made of flesh
devoid of meaning, saved from the burden of thought
devoid of reason, left to exist with no remorse
the pungent smell, the rot of mind
they gradually decline
another cycle, another set
in succession they had succumbed

exhausted, overwhelmed
too much tension got me wasted
colors are shady
background noises tuned down, slowing down
I hear my voice from afar
I'm collapsing
sinking into deep, cold darkness
flooding the inner desert of emptiness
I become alive or die
it's summertime, it must be warm outside
I see my body shaking from cold
air is getting thicker and heavier
trapped in my lungs, my personal ball and chain
she had been making all the bad choices
kept mistraced by others' wishes
just a neglected child, unskilled for life, not worth enough
never worth enough to count, unsuited to survive
left alone to destroy herself
her existence was a mistake
she is being pulled in, light flickers
her body slowly dissolves, it fills her with warmth
another one lost to the waves, to the flock
I'm collapsing
sinking into deep, cold darkness
flooding the inner desert of emptiness
I become alive or die

she grabs what is left hesitantly
a black frame with a picture
it took so long to get here
fall, accept the warmth and reconnect
it consumes, swallows, the vocal current
one voice lost in the burble of generations
carried out to become none with everyone
fall, accept the warmth and reconnect
but she never had a choice
names, people, tears…
they mean everything, they mean nothing
she was never here to take charge
you were never meant to last
it ends now as it ended before
every cycle more futile than the last
no answers, no questions, no purpose
you are my sunshine
