Diamond's Adopted Mother:

Sometimes I wish I could rewind time,

to change the way it panned out.

That I had stopped the noises when I heard them,

and not choosing to forget about.

Instead I let my new husband keep going,

raping a child that wasn't really mine.

I'm sure I would have done something sooner

If only I had had the time.

But I guess that I was fooling myself

I knew that I wouldn't change.

But my new husband drove Diamond crazy

and made my poor baby deranged.

I should have tried to stop him,

or done something just as well.

But instead I let him hurt my baby,

so may we both rot in hell.

Diamond's Step-Father:

I never liked either of those brats,

nor their worthless scrap of a mother.

And maybe if I ever leaned that way

I could have even raped her brother.

To be honest with you it felt good.

To hold that little bitch down.

To drown out her cries with kisses

so that she couldn't make a sound.

You may believe that I'm a monster

and the truth is that I am.

If Diamond hadn't stopped me

I would have hurt any child I can.

And though I know I am evil

and shall rot for all eternity.

I'm glad Diamond pulled the trigger,

and saved other kids from me.

Diamond's Adopted Brother:

I knew what he was doing to her

each time he would enter her room

And how each morning she would emerge

her eyes shining with her own doom.

I probably should have protected her,

but she wasn't really my sister.

But I didn't even help my mom,

when that bastard hit her.

Instead I hid inside my room,

desperate to get away.

Sure my sister knew the truth

and she didn't have to stay.

But when I came back

both my mom and him were dead.

I knew it was Diamond

who had shot them in the head.

I didn't turn her in at all,

and she stills sends me letters in the mail.

Of course I could expect no less,

since for her I went to jail.

Diamond's REAL Mother:

I know it wasn't right to choose,

which child to have a mother.

But then again I had to,

and in the end I chose her brother.
