As the rain hits the ground, a repetitive sound
   Things become clear, when there’s something to fear
Lightning strikes, flashing bright
All I can think, I don’t want to blink
A rumbling noise from up in the clouds
Scary and loud
Powers disarm, eyes widen with alarm screams begin to start
I always do wrong, in the eyes of the strong
A devil comes out, in the dead of the night
She’s not herself, this can’t be right
Still I sit, hit after hit
My eyes are swollen, my lip is split
I go to bed against the wall I place my head
Constantly checking to see
waiting to make sure, I was left be
in the morning I awake, my mind plays tricks
it was a dream, it was fake
upon my mirror I see my face, black and blue is what’s been placed
I turn to her, those eyes of fire, they calmed since last night
I think to myself, I know it’s my fault
The drugs she consumes, the toxins
The fumes
My future is spoken, my home life was broken
What I wouldn’t give, for a life worth to live
But my life’s been forsaken, the good deals are taken
So I sit, remembering hit after hit
And still I stay, to take care
To obey
The golden child disappears
In your eyes, I see your tears
The on that always took care, never got respect
But tare
Remember darlin’ who stayed by your side, and who took off to hide
Who was there to listen, and the one in the back
Purposely missing
Who ran the first chance they got, turned on you when caught
You stole my childhood, my thoughts
But with my life that’s not all I fought
Still I was always there, even when times were hard to bare
Empty stomach, torn heart, If only we could restart
Would you try, or do you like barely getting by
Did you think, when it wasn’t just your life to sink
A normal life is all I wanted, in my dreams my memories haunted
Do you care, with the heart break you share
Trappt to your side I’ll always be, someone who has to take care of thee
But yet trappt or not, your all I got
