Help, anyone?

There's something troubling in your eyes...but I've seen it before (?)
She calls out to you
From behind sin's doorway
Her 13 years have left her
So calloused, so diseased...
Oh but she's begging you
Like you wish your daughter would...
(Half a world...away)
Betrayal fills her eyes
It's the sick of the unkind years...
And scars...scars...start to form...start to form
A tangled web of Shame
Across her bleeding, tortured flesh
But you want...more...you want more
So take her down with you
Beneath the crimson tide
Slip silently...under the water
Remember...no pain
Lost in this rapture
Together
You're running fast
From the past
But it's freeze framed
You can't see what's beyond
Her voice keeps echoing...your name...
You keep remembering
The world so cold to you
You get what you gave
The world so cold it's true
When the red...turns...to...grey
When she's on her knees...she's saying a prayer for me
(Oh father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name)
And through the frenzied feed...she's saying a prayer for me
(Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the lord my soul to keep)
And though the waiting tide offered her sanctuary...
(Pray the lord my soul to keep)
I know
I know, somewhere...she's saying a prayer for me
(Pray the lord my soul to keep)
When she's on her knees...she's saying a prayer for me
And through the frenzied feed...she's saying a prayer for me
(Now I lay her down to sleep, pray the lord my soul to keep)
And though the waiting tide offered her sanctuary...
I know
Somewhere she's saying a prayer for me
(...???...)
She just needed...someone...to love her...
She just needed one kind...word...
Crawling...calling...across your memories
Torture you
