Splinter - Anna lyrics

rate me

I know a place, locked doors, windows & gates<br />

White tiles and gray... desparing scenery<br />

And I know a face, young girl, out of place<br />

Saddened & strange<br />

Makes no sounds at all<br />

Locked away just like a doll.<br />

-<br />

Anna woke today<br />

Rubs her eyes is so afraid<br />

And she wonders why she stays<br />

With the other kids in the mental wing<br />

Poor Anna, sits and waits.<br />

-<br />

Slave to the bore<br />

Pills...they just bring me more<br />

Ears hear no sounds, memories just bring be down<br />

And I see them with toys<br />

Parents with girls and boys<br />

Sleepy they read<br />

Promised to visit me<br />

Repeating in my memory<br />

-<br />

Anna loves to wave<br />

Watches them most everyday<br />

And she wonder when she'll play with the other kids<br />

But she thinks of better days<br />

If she could she'd run away<br />

But she screams aloud and says<br />

"I'm not like the other kids"<br />

In the mental wing, for Anna sits and waits<br />

-<br />

I know a place<br />

Young girl, tears on her face<br />

Saddened it's strange<br />

She makes no sounds at all...<br />

-<br />

Anna sleeps today<br />

Cradles up and slips away<br />

And I wonder what she takes to reduce the pain<br />

And her memories of Anna...slowly fade
