That is the sound, of clean, white, shorts turning brown
Torture and pain

Breaking a brain (This is so weird!)
A sound that says I will never sleep well again.

[LYDIA]
The sound of a scream, is music to me
A sound that says fifteen years full-time therapy

Trauma and fear, it sings in my ear

Each wail and each moan
Adds up to Daddy's leavin’.
