Say, now. Can you even hear me? Say, now. Why should you need to fear me? I can see your future, up above my TV screen. I can feel you watching, even though I can't be seen.
Say, now. What do you have against me? Say, now. Why do you resent me? I can hear your laughing, coming through these paper walls. Can you feel me shaking? Does it make your skin crawl?
Say, now. Why do you have to hate me? Say, now, Why is it you don't love me? I can feel your heart beat fast and heavy in my hand. It's too late for pleading. Yeah, I know you understand. I can see your future up upon my paper wall. I don't care if you're breathing, I just want another doll.
