Daddy! Are you proud of me?
Am I who you thought I'd be?
I know I'm not, 'coz I am bad
And if you knew me, you'd be sad

Living under the same ceiling
Doesn't give a family-feeling
Doesn't make me feel more safe
Won't repair the broken days

Mommy left for Heaven early
We're better off without her, surely
They forgot, but eleven years
Has not dried my silent tears

Has not helped my bleeding heart
Only driven us apart
Has not ceased the storm around
But left me dying on the ground

My hair is green, my mom's was blonde
Cut all relations to family-bonds
'Coz I just wanna start anew
But my past binds me, and so do you

And do you know where your daughter goes?
Did you ask me about the rose?
Where I got it from, I bet
You haven't even noticed it

But I know, though, I wish I didn't
I remember why I got it
I remember tears from pain
Outside in the April-rain

I remember every slap
Sitting on his naked lap
I'm glad you don't know, you would die
Of the shame, and so would I

So dad! Are you still proud of me?
My grades suck, they learned it from me
I cry at night, why can't you see?
I wish you could be proud of me

I want you to save me, I really do
Though this mess is not caused by you
But I'm to weak to save myself
A life-buoy's all I ask for as help

Blood is dripping, slowly, slowly
No one else than me can hurt me
Forced to grow up way too early
Therefore forever a child I'll be

Bite my nails 'till nothing's left
I want to rest... I want to rest...
But I can't sleep, inside I'm dead
My eyes are dry, my eyes are red

And don't believe that I complain
I don't, I'm just so sick of pain
They're celebrating my decay
My soul left my body, empty and grey

Well, daddy, I know you're not proud of me!
Don't try to deny, I know what I see;
A father that wish he could love his daughter
But wants to return her to where he got her

Oh, daddy, what a fucken shame!
That you too have to take the blame
Together we're swimming, arm in arm
To The Damn�d's Island, where we do no harm
