Tortured soul lives in the broken home

The infants hand held out again

Shattered sights on such restless nights

The brother's voice rings in her head

Why must we suffer

Why must she shudder

Why must we bother

Why must he haunt her

Repeat...

Desecration of the life so near

The infant cast in a blanket of fear

Perseverance keeps me strong

Blind eyes make them wrong

Bottled wisdom sheds no light

A brighter day cast aside by night

Misconceptions take their toll

Dark visions contort my soul

Lost sights under city lights

So far away from home again

Wicked dreams are such sinful schemes

The brother's voice rings in my head

Shattered dreams are useless things

Locked away inside my head

Loving faith and dealing hate

The Infant makes a stand and says

Why must we suffer

Why must she shudder

Why must we bother

Why must he taunt her

Repeat…

Broken images of my past

Walking the hopeful road I am the last

New light in a world so cold

New light distorted by the old

Fuck those images in my past

I am the hopeful road, I am

New light in this world so cold

Old light block out by the old
