shame written in blood on the family

wrong or right
fight or flight
a kiss goodnight or a run in the midnight sky
you decide

i smile and stand beside this lion
hearing those words have me crying
but silence will keep me fighting
a survivor of life when all you want is death
given something so cruel made you broken within

you're a child who needs help
but the hands that aim towards you only drag you down
your pure and innocent but those who are corrupted broke you within
then looks at you like a fire
destroying life when desired
they call you a liar
cheated you out of life
left you broken inside

the horns on your head don't make you evil
they look at you like you're the devil
but when they need you they call upon you like you're an angel
you're pure to the bone but still, they hate you
blood stained on your eyes
pain written on your teeth
wounds in your heart
after causing you so much damage they act as if you aim to deceive

they steal your joy
but im right here
arms wide open
you won't have to leave yourself i promise
each word like thunder and lightening
heart pounding and racing
what id give to have you with me
they destroy your success out of envy
come out here with me
I'll be more than your family
I'll be your diary
each secret written on a page stuck in my ears
causing them to ring

don't believe a word they say
i am your family
unlike them i'll always stay
like a promise
like we promised


forever and always
