Analysis of CAN'T YOU HEAR ME
I'm crying, can't you hear me?
I'm all alone so sad.
It's so dark, I'm so afraid.
It hurts me oh so bad.
I'm crying, can't you hear me?
Mommy, I promise I'll be good.
Can't you love me just a little?
The way all Mommy's should?
I'm crying, can't you hear me?
Why don't you even care?
Don't you know I need you?...
Oh, God it's so unfair!
I'm crying, you can't hear me....
My screams are silent now..
I'm locked inside this nightmare...
My reality has become!
