    PLAYLIST TIME:

    Dear Daddy

    by: After School Knife Fight

    Dear daddy, I tacked this letter
    to your front door to tell you a story about a little girl who resend you.
    She loved you but couldn't
    take the abuse.
    Why did you force her to touch you?
    Why did you make her hurt so bad?
    I can remember waking up in a
    pool of my own blood.
    I would scream and nobody would come to help me.
    You'd poke my eyes and
    beat me beyond recognition,
    and I would scream for so long,
    "oh! no! daddy! no! help me!"
    Daddy I warn you, don't turn around now.
    There's a gun at your head and you're
    gonna die.
