Everyone says "your family is perfect"
Everyone thinks we get along.
Everyone hears us speaking words of care
Everyone sees us hugging.
But listen to my words, look a little closer.
Behind that closed door, you'll find out.
Behind that door.
Screams and tears and fits.
Behind that door.
Bangs and yells and thumps.
Behind that door.
Sighs and yells and slams.
Behind that door.
Hums and tears slide down.
Behind my door.
Sleepless nights and blades.
Behind my door.
Cuts and tears and blood.
Behind my door.
I break and fade away.
Behind the front door.
Fights when cracks make breaks.
People fading away.
People losing faith.
Behind our doors.
Overdose on Tylenol
Overdose on tears.
Losing voices. Red eyes.
"Your family is perfect"
"You guys have it all"
"You are such a great family"
We tear at each other's throats.
We scream till our voices break.
I cry cause can't feel pain anymore.
We tell till our lungs give way.
We fight until our legs give out.
That's behind our doors.

My family is kinda loud... And a pain... And we fight a lot.
