Never-ending war wages behind the white picket fence line

Mommy dearest will greet you with a smile and assure you everything is fine

But behind closed doors it's a whole different world.

From outside it looks so wholesome but inside its dark and twisted

The kids beg for a normal life but it's sure they've missed it

From outer appearances, it looks like they're living the life

Till' the older one breaks and lets lose with a knife

And its hard to even go one night

Where there isn't screaming, pain, and fist fights

It's just not right

Unhealthy to both body and mind

Living life with no one to reach to that's kind

Normalcy is what everyone wants to believe

But if only inside one would find

The welts and bruises

The games and control that mommy always uses

To keep them afraid

Like animals in a zoo, locked in a cage

Continually bouncing between caring and rage

To her this power is all a little game

And sometimes the pressure builds and the victims struggle to stay sane

Ready to break at any second

Tired and worn from the continual attacks

The family base is weak and full of cracks

Compassion is what her heart lacks

Little one on her knees and crying

Sister can't stand to see her in pain and her heart feels like its dying

Her mind is rolling and feels regret

It's her fault, she was suppose to be the shield and be there to protect

Maybe Mom was right, she's just some reject

Made a promise to her lil baby sister and she couldn't follow through

Promised "I'll be there, I won't let her hurt you"

Finally they older and younger broke away

Went to their Daddy's but the middle one stayed

And paid

For the problems that she caused

"You ****** up and that's why you sisters' are gone"

Haha, Yes mommy just keep telling yourself that

Haha, Why am I laughing you ask? Why, because you're wrong.

They left because of you, come on now just swallow the truth

And for now I'm stuck but soon I'll be strong

I'll gain my wings and be moving along

And where will you be?

You really wanna know?

You will be all alone, in this cold empty home.

Left to yourself

You created this darkness, now live in your in hell

You've pushed too far

Look at your life and know you were the one who pulled us all apart.
