Started Innocent

Like serpents
Draining the child's soul
Turning everything dark
Feeling it spread inside
Something growing
It started innocent
Now it just wants to let go

The stories feel too real
The child began to write
Every character was hurting
Was it fiction or real life?
The world just doesn't care
A playlist full of sadness
Their parents don't know the thoughts inside
The child keeps hearing
You do nothing
But all they wanted was to be loved

It started as a whisper, turned into a plague
Missing love, the child feels the pain
It started as a game
Then faded into silence
The child couldn't take it anymore

Now they call it depression, now they care
At the grave, it's different faces there
They talk about love
But the child never felt it
Started innocent, ended in suffering
(Too innocent)
It wasn't the child, it was the parents

At school, the child was hated
Alone with no one there
People laughing in the background
They kept saying they'd disappear
And one day, they were gone
Left behind an empty body
Neglect

It started as a whisper, turned into a plague
Missing love, the child feels the pain
It started as a game
Then faded into silence
The child couldn't take it anymore

Now they call it depression, now they care
At the grave, it's different faces there
They talk about love
But the child never felt it
Started innocent, ended in suffering
(Too innocent)
It wasn't the child, it was the parents
