Capucine Byron - Black Riding Hood Lyrics

Once upon a time
This little girl has lost her smile
In this wild world, so hostile
She is building a carapace
So that she will hide her face
She is lost in her loneliness
How to fight human wickedness
With this extreme sensitivity
Seeing everybody as enemy
Where is her true self?
With emotion and weakness
She plays so well their game
That she doesn't own her name
Where is her true self?
With emotion and weakness
She plays so well their game
That she doesn't own her name
This little girl has now grown up
As an adult being stuck
In this stark reality
Where conformity is the key
Forced to melt into the mass
She has to wear a cold mask
Her false self is now created
Devitalized, social adjusted
Where is her true self?
With emotion and weakness
Where is her true self?
With emotion and weakness
She plays so well their games
That she doesn't own her name
Where is her true self?
With emotion and weakness
She plays so well their games
That she doesn't own her name
