Perfect Little Soldier.

Go ahead

Cut me off

then ask me,

why I dont speak up.

I learned my lesson

It's not my voice you want.

It's my obedience.

So I'll just shut up.

Follow your lead.

Without a word.

Go ahead, push me further.

I won't tell you if it hurts.

Perfect little soldier.

With it's mouth sewn shut.

My heart is growing colder.

All I wanted was love.

What I got was a mission

Just make you proud.

I love making you smile.

Even if I bleed out.
