Daddy, do you remember the bent-neck lady?
Yes? She’s back!

Mommy and daddy don’t believe you, Nellie
They keep saying you should stop yelling
They say she’s a nightmare, but she’s real
No worries little baby, I know how you feel

Feeling not understood, I got that, I got you
Sometimes I count from one to seven, like Luke
This constant ghost on my back, he lives there
Don’t try hard to send it away, it’s not goin’ anywhere

You were right there the whole time and none of them could see you
You were waving and jumping, and nobody looked
I know the feeling, Nell, it happened to me too

I was right there, and I was invisible.
We went through bad things, we should be invincible
I once risked being the bent-neck lady of myself
Ending up with a rope around my neck

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven (again)
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven (again)
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven (again)
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven

What if I dream that you send us away into the dark (and it gets us)
One piece at a time, over years and years and years (and we get hurt?)
What if my heart breaks in half and I can’t do anything else, but cry
Until I can’t stand it anymore and to feel something I have to die

Nell, I once risked being the bent-neck lady of myself
Cause I was so scared of living that haunted past
To cast out those monsters, I was doing it for my best,
But then I realized that they’ve never really left

You were right there the whole time and none of them could see you
You were waving and jumping, and nobody looked
I know the feeling, Nel, it happened to me too

I was right there, and I was invisible.
We went through bad things, we should be invincible
I once risked being the bent-neck lady of myself
Ending up with a rope around my neck

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven (again)
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven (again)
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven (again)
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven

I was right here, I was screaming and shouting and none of you could see me
Why couldn’t you see me? I waved and jumped, and you didn’t even look
I was right here, I didn’t go anywhere.
I was right here, the whole time!
NONE OF YOU COULD SEE ME
NOBODY COULD SEE ME
