lyrics

Aren't we all just trying to defeat ourselves.
Why do you make this home feel like hell.
Your demons holding us down.
Tearing us up then spitting us out.
This is just hope for me.
Just hope for me.

You see the fear in me.
I can’t seem to agree.
How you feed off sympathy.
The worth of your family.

Their eyes are watching you.
Your disguise is weak.
They see the weight on you.
It’s now the king they seek.
He rules with empathy.
But it’s us he bleeds.

He lays his hand on his child.
And spits on the woman that raised her, he hates them.
Threw them to the ground and smiled as temper left him.
Conscience is failing him.
