Lyrics
I have been held in this orphanage for longer than my years I am made to eat this horrid porridge They box me on the ears How often I vow to flee, to go But this is the only home I know My stammered speech, my one suitcase My orphanage, my hateful place Like that case, this place I carry Inside of me It's not so very heavy for a stocky child
They said my mama's loose They said she was wild Though I never knew or saw that woman sent with me this fatal flaw My strange and puffy moon-like face My orphanage My hateful place My stringy hair, my lack of grace My orphanage My hateful place
I could have been lucky like them Happy families Look in my Dark, rotted heardened heart and you will see:
The downcast glance, the empty embrace Of my orphanage My hateful place
I'm an evil thing I am way full of something That was left by the side of the road I am chipped, curly-lipped Never any kindness was shown
No one else is here My orphanage, my dear
It's in me. it's a part My orphanage, my heart
