...Because you don’t know
So you can’t use it against me
Those who I’ve shown
Have created conditions
To dismiss me
Enemies

Lies thicker than blood
Spill into murky water
Images of forgetful friends
And a neglectful father
Why bother to barter?
When any glimpse of love
Has already been slaughtered

That’s why I keep you
Hidden away
In my head
Safe
Where you’ll stay…
