Family

there's a reason for the songs i sing
for the tears i cry
for the pain when i cannot breathe

there's a reason for the blood i bleed
for the cuts on my skin
for these words you read

the banshee that is your tongue
pierces through stunned silence
with hate infested lungs

my hate for you when you hate me
my disgust for the lies you live
you are blind, you can never see

love drowned in oppressive waters
washed onto the shore of the damned
and all you wanted

was the love of your daughter...

memory crashes like glass
shattering the night
through its overwhelming mass

a mind in never ending turmoil
a silent cry for help
silenced by poisoned, barbed coil

lies fed to stimulate fear
the drug of false hope
no longer will keep me here

we have drowned our love
it never had a place inside us
and hate...

you already know it's won.
