• Milky white and still
    Above the old cabinet
    Don’t deal with it now

    Don’t deal with it now
    The unblinking stare of dolls
    Lace and bonnets, red

    Lace and bonnets, red
    Children and parents naive
    In the night they’re still

    In the night they’re still
    Sleeping soundly while she plots
    Scissors left untouched

    Scissors left untouched
    Into the dolls hands they go
    All sticky with blood

    All sticky with blood
    The dark hair of the child
    The Hands of the doll


    The Hands of the doll
    Never stained from her doings
    No one does suspect

    No one does suspect
    The pale doll on the dresser
    Milky white and still
