why couldn't you ever see?
beyond the glam he gleamed
were gleaming screams
Of a child fearing her dreams
Things were always more severe than they seemed
The scars ran further than skin deep
Tears streamed lower than steep
Nobody helped me escape feeling beat
A fathers mouth should be for wisdom and love
Despite what tries to hold his tongue

why couldn't you ever see?
beyond the glam he gleamed

Of a child fearing her dreams
Things were always more severe than they seemed
The scars ran further than skin deep
Tears streamed lower than steep
Nobody helped me escape feeling beat
A fathers mouth should be for wisdom and love
Despite what tries to hold his tongue
People are often oblivious to abuse behind closed doors
