Laura Dajao: I liked school, class, friends and playtime reenacting the spice girls or songs from the radio
Running around, playing football and sports, Could cartwheel for ages, never staying still
I liked school, class, friends and playtime reenacting the spice girls or songs from the radio
Could cartwheel for ages, never staying still
Piano, recorder dancing and singing - no fear
My friends were the world to me. Quite the tomboy, relaxed cool and laid back.
Emotional angst and trying times it seemed, "how big my problems were"
But I keep them to myself - I'm here for you- no matter what...
Facades and pretending became a hobby and pastime... one I was really good at
Lying about being happy
(Music starts - New Legs - Daniel Licht)
Tripping over feet, what was that? Oh, my foot. Why are you not working?
Can you walk properly please? You're such an idiot! Why Can't I stand? Am I dying?
Ain't no thing, chicken wing on a string
Crutches...bedbound...steroids... crutches..., injections... wheelchair...
Combine diagnosis, depression -- reflection, why is this happening to me?
Crutches...bedbound...steroids... crutches..., injections... wheelchair.. Is it something I did?
Am I paying for my mistakes? Why is this happening to me? Why should I try? Is it something that I did? Is there any point? Am I paying for my mistakes
What good am I now? Is karma kicking me in the butt?
Curling in to a ball, cutting off the world, my friends, "supposed" friends..
You can tell who the real ones are when they stick by you, regardless
Couldn't get out of bed, wouldn't get out of bed
What is that in the mirror? Unrecognisable, disgusting and horrible.
Just let go , YOU can't live like this... why bother getting upset with things you can't change
I never want to see you again you hear? Pick up your smile, and mean it
What's next? Anything? Everything?

Male Voice: It's not over!

(Drum beats come in and faint soprano voice soaring above the beat)
(Drum beat pauses as the female voice continues to sing long sustained notes)
(Drum beat kicks in and female voice continues to sing)
(Drum beat becomes stronger and and female voice starts to fade)
(Music fades out)
