Letra

She sits up all night, every night
Down in the kitchen, summer and winter
Dressed only in her nightdress
Seated at the table; silent, thinking
Sometimes her head is in her hands
Sometimes she stares off into space
Sometimes she pulls her hair until the tears come
She is thinking, only that
This is the only time she has
We'd stop her if we were able
Her mother says, "Why are you such a bad girl
You used to be so kind and thoughtful,"
Her father says, "You know you only hurt your mother."
If she keeps doing it, they will have to call the doctors
Night is the only time I have
The only time it is quiet
The only time people are not trying to confuse me
With demands
Given time, she can think it through
To the hollow heart of it
To the lonely lying that makes
Slaves of the children, in order
To conceal the guilt of the old
And their tragedy – for
They can look back on nothing, except
What they can say they own
She is all that makes them real
To exist they need her connivance
Her sacrifice till death
That is why, in the quiet night
She tiptoes into the kitchen
Leaving the light blazing
Sits down at the table
In the quiet
With the tiny room alone and silent
Dark, floating in a sea of dark
Only light inside, and her there
Sitting barefoot in her nightdress
At the table
Only thinking
When the doctors come and find out
"She's always been a little strange,"
While her parents weep because
"She is clearly not herself"
When parent secretly conspires with parent
To discredit conscience and reject all criticism as
A shameful sickness
It is then the wealthy patrons of the state
With numberless murders in their hearts
Make public acclaim of the morality
Of self loathing that
Commits one more
Given time, she can think it through
To the hollow heart of it
To the lonely lying
Given time, she can think it through
To the hollow heart of it
To the lonely lying
