Everyone knew
She was a special young girl
From her neighbors to her teachers
Some labeled her a prodigy
Others called her a genius
It was amazing
The way she could play the violin
It made it
Hard for people to believe that
She only ten
But behind every brilliant mind
There lies a monster
This one
Just so happened to be her father
See daddy was sick
He'd get a rush
By playing touchy touch
And telling her to keep it hush
It was his secret way
Of loving that he needed someone
He could trust
F**ked her head up
Saying if momma was alive
She'd be so proud of us
So she'd hide the desire to die
But if you paid close attention
You could see the sorrow
In her eyes
Walking around
In the only real hell
No one would ever think
She'd have such a story to tell
Afraid to go home
Afraid to talk
Afraid of crying
She was too young
To even know why
And everyday
She'd go to the river
With a message
In a bottle saying
Please
God help me
I don't wanna live
To see tomorrow
Each day
She'd scrounge
For a tiny shread of hope
Just to wish
The bottle would stay afloat
But every single solitary day
The bottle seems to sink
I don't know why
But the bottle always sinks
She never sees it happen
But the bottle always sinks
Now only
The bottom of the river knows
What she really thinks
She made that violin sing
With so much pain
You could almost hear her scream
Through the strange vibrations
What was once sweet
And innocent
Is now riding
With the phsychotic father
Chose to probe
The flowers of the pure and sacred
Her instrument was a rolly tongue
To express the infinite abuse
In it's depths
At night the footsteps crept to her door
And she'd begin to shake and weep
And with tears rolling down her cheeks
She's pretend she was asleep
When the nightmare was over
And the sun dawn is light
She'd retreat to the same place
She always did
Rip a page from her diary
And write with all her might
Then send it off into the current
Determined to find a way to live
And everyday
She'd go to the river
With a message
In a bottle saying
Please
God help me
I don't wanna live
To see tomorrow
Each day she'd scrounge
For a tiny shread of hope
Just to wish the bottle
Would stay afloat
But every single solitary day
The bottle seems to sink
I don't know why
But the bottle always sinks
She never sees it happen
But the bottle always sinks
Now only
The bottom of the river knows
What she really thinks
Being a victim
Of her daddy's hands for so long
She lost the will to move on
Sick of picking up
Her violin to hide
From what's wrong
Exhausted
But staying strong
She tried to play the bright side
But couldn't bring herself to make
Nothing but sad songs
Sick of that sick feeling that
Stays in her stomach
Sick of waiting for a rescue
By someone who found
One of her bottles
Sick of being daddy's little secret
She got up at the crack of day
And smashed her violin into pieces
Then proceeded to walk towards
The river with a plan
Only this time the diary
And bottle was in her hand
Just walk with herself
Away from the hell
Not knowing at the river bottom
Lying in all the cries for help
It was weeks
Before they found her dead body
Some fisherman reeled it from the water
Like something from a detective novel
Diagonosis: Suicide
Stemed from desperation
Was near where
She drowned they found about 500 messages
In sunken bottles
