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.
