Holly lived in darkness,
Holly lived in pain,
Holly heard the voices,
from deep inside her brain.
The voice that called her useless,
The voice that told her "Cut".
The voice that called her bad,
the one that declared her "Slut".
Holly told the doctors,
about these things inside her head,
They said she'd grow out of it,
as they sent her home to bed.
There beneath the downer,
she stayed huddled up for years,
The voices ever getting louder,
they kept adding to her fears.
Today a mother lost her daughter,
they never got to say good-bye.
All the time the voices watched,
they watched Holly die.
