We live in a world of denial
Forget things to vile
We leave them to dust like songs on vinyl
Hope it will go away its to foul
Now we'll smile
Happy as it always were
We live in a society sick with denial
And no one has a cure

i’m sorry for the pain i cause
but i swear it’s not my fault
i fear that myself
and all I've taught
might not be worth the mistakes I've bought
maybe if i tear the skin
i can keep myself from caving in
long enough to save the world
that we all dare to live in

have you ever seen a demon?

their eyes fill with hatred
but they act like saints around other people who don't know them
and i pretend not to see the demon
that has tortured me since i was seven
because they say it's against the bible not to love him
this very dark
thing
that hurts my sister and not me
if she would just keep her mouth shut
we would all be happy
and as it looks into my eyes
and decides to spear me
i wait for him to look away
take a deep breathe
and remind myself
"that's not a demon
that's daddy"
