Tears of a Plastic Doll Lyrics

Hoo

Hoo

The lightning called out to defy

Clouds gathered for a fight in the sky

The rain fired bullets fierce and fast

And shadows in my room were cast

A red ember glowed in the fire's flame

Who was hurt

Who's to blame

Smoke and fire filled the air

I changed the battery with care

So the doll would cry

Mom oh Mom

I turned on the TV to make you calm

As I turned on the TV to make you calm

Flashes of news but you stayed numb

Storms outside and silence in here

Where are you now so far yet near

The doll still cries a plastic plea

But you're lost in memories

Not with me

Not with me

Not with me you still quiet in your chair

A glassy gaze as if not there

The storm outside the storm inside

Which battle now should I be

Which fight will lead me to win

A war of weather or hearts untold both feel

Endless fierce and cold

Outside winds scream and trees bend low

Inside a past I can't let go

Fighting both I stand alone

Battles of flesh

Hoo Battles

Battles of flesh and bone

But as the storm begins to die

The doll goes quiet her tears run dry

Your gaze lifts but not the same

Faint whispers call my name

And in the calm the truth appears

We lost so much through all these years

We lost so much

We lost so much

Through all these years

Now the storm has passed the winds at rest

But the silence weighs heavily on my chest

No doll no cry no voice to hear

Just an empty room and you're not here

Not here

In the flicker of the TV's glow

I finally see what I didn't know

You've been gone for far too long

And I was here thinking I was strong

Ho no ho no ho no no no

When all along I tried to fight

It was a losing battle in the night

As the storm begins to die

The doll goes quiet

Her tears

Run dry

Your gaze lifts but not the same

Faint whispers call my name

And in the calm the truth appears

We lost so much through all these years

We lost so much

We lost so much

Through all these years

And it is heartbreakingly sad
