I'm Here

At night, the Escapologist's daughter Cried herself to sleep alone in her room The Escapologist knew nothing of the Aunt's wickedness And his daughter never said a word As she didn't want to add to her father's pain This only encouraged the woman to greater cruelties Until one day, she exploded! You are a useless, filthy, nasty little creep! And she beat her and threw her into a dank, dark, dusty cellar Locked the door and went out But that day, the Escapologist happened to come home early And when he heard the sound of his daughter's tears He smashed the door open! Don't cry, I am here little girl Please don't cry, dry your eyes Wipe away your tears, little girl Forgive me, I didn't mean to desert you Don't cry, little girl Nothing can hurt you, you've nothing to fear I'm here Have I been so wrapped up in my grief for my wife That I have forgotten the one thing that mattered to us most I love you so much, my daughter I shall spent the rest of my life making it up to you We shall be together, forever Don't cry, daddy I'm alright, daddy Please don't cry, here Let me wipe away your tears Daddy, forgive me I didn't want to upset you Please, daddy, don't cry I'll be alright With you by my side I have nothing to fear You're here Don't cry (Don't cry, daddy) Please don't cry, I am here little girl (I'm alright daddy) Please don't cry (Please don't cry) Dry your eyes (here, let me) Wipe away your tears Little girl Forgive me (Daddy, forgive me) I didn't mean to desert you (I didn't want to upset you) Please, daddy, don't cry (don't cry, little girl) I'll be alright with you by my side (Nothing can hurt you) You have nothing to fear (I have nothing to fear) I'm here (You're here) But when the little girl fell asleep The Escapologist's thoughts turned to the Acrobat's sister And an almighty rage grew in his great heart! This demon! This villan! This monster! She has sullied the memory of my wife! She has betrayed the trust of her own sister! She has shown cruelty to the most precious reality of my marriage! Bullying children is a game, is it? Then let us see what this creature thinks she can do When the wrath of a grown man stands before her! But that was the last the little girl ever saw of her father Because he never came home Ever again
