Parental supervision is suggested.

Medicine, for the children beating themselves inside.
There is Molly flogging herself because she is not pretty.
"A little red but its okay." The parents say, comparing her to TV.
It's a sad truth to swallow when you have a slit throat.

We are all alone, when we need it the most.
Please don't leave me here...

Medicine, for the children feeding on stereotype.
There I am starving to death because I refuse this.
This ugly substitute for family and friends...
Wake me up, me up when...

We are all alone, when we need it the most.
Please don't leave me here...
Unattended, left to make mistakes.

But you blame me, when you drape shame on my shoulders.
Playing dress up with me so you can look good.
A counterfeit smile. For the both of us.

Children, take your medicine and be happy.
It's all my father ever taught me.
Of how to survive and thrive in this climate.
It's a sad truth to swallow when you have a slit throat.

We are all alone, when we need it the most.
Please don't leave me here...
Unattended, left to make mistakes.

Somehow I missed this one. I hate the way some things work out, how some relationships work out. The way you wrote it, I know exactly what it feels like. Baby your words are beautiful, no matter what you write about, pain or love. I'm glad your mine, and that I can soak up these words, that I have the priviledge to hear them straight from your lips. Your talent amazes me love, your definitely something I am proud to show off! I love you.

It is a sad truth indeed. This was brilliantly orchestrated. A great interpretation on society today and what we pass on. Great work!
