| A child is told from day number one
|
| He’s a worthless piece of shit, bad and dumb
|
| Generations pass down low self self esteem
|
| We’re molded by things we’ve heard and seen
|
| Or punched in the mouth for being unsure
|
| Or locked behind the closet door
|
| We learn what we live, we live what we learn
|
| Abuse of innocence to evil we turn
|
| Can anybody hear their cries
|
| Can anybody tell them why
|
| You gotta read between the lies
|
| People die when love is denied
|
| One of many lessons i learned to be like
|
| You ain’t gonna live like you
|
| You made me what I am today
|
| So close to you, yet so far away
|
| The pain you lived with made you ill
|
| An empty hole with nothing to fill
|
| I forgive and love you forever still
|
| A waste of time, a waste of life
|
| Livin' on the edge of a sharp fuckun' knife
|
| I can’t blame you for never being around
|
| I know you never meant to hurt and bring me down
|
| Look in their eyes to hear their cries
|
| And you will see all their pain lying dormant inside
|
| Now realize as time passes by
|
| That people die when love is denied |
