The music was written, and to me, it was just an unfinished darkwave-esque idea. Susan took what I had, and wrote the lyrics based on the unfinished arrangement I had given her. After that, I made a few minor changes to the structure of the song, and we were done.

This song was featured on the Spiderbite Studios compilation "This Human Disease".

Do you hear him say, do you hear him beg, do you see him stare?
Do you hear him beg, did you see him steal, have you seen their faces?
Have you seen him cry, do you hear him beg, have you seen him in the jail?

Have you ever wanted to become all the things you can't believe?
Have you ever wanted to become all the things you meant to be?

Can you understand all the things that I say?
Can you understand? Can you be the one?

If you ever look into his eyes at the terror
His face will haunt you when you're all alone
He will run away, he will find a way, to find you asleep in your little
dollhouse, your little dollhouse, with Barbie and Ken, both will be home

You run away and run away you run so fast
You run away to hide away from your past
You run away, you run so fast away...

Mommy sings a little lullabye, Daddy reads a little book
Uncle's in the laundry room, little sister's getting shook

Nobody is watching 'cause we're tied up on the floor
Nobody is kneeling now that Daddy is a whore
Anyone can see that this is a happy family
Anyone would know that hell was made for you and me...

Can you understand all the things that I say?
Can you understand? Can you be the one?

If you ever look into his eyes at the terror
His face will haunt you when you're all alone
He will run away, he will find a way, to find you asleep in your little
dollhouse, your little dollhouse, with Barbie and Ken, both will be home

You run away...
