legions (in hiding)

Singer:testament

domestically violent

with razor blade smiles

infested with anger

a well hidden crime

teaching those lessons so cruel

ah

the torment spreads

war inside my head

please just set me free

you call this. a family?

battered

abusive

there's no wrong or right

when you're enslaved in your room

hiding from demons

in urban daylight

knowing that they'll be here soon

confusion and bruises

and scars left for life

when physical evidence fades

silently screaming

just to be loved

their innocence taken away

ah

the torment spreads

war inside my head

please just set me free

you call this. a family?

virtues are shattered

by parents they trust

when all love they give is misued

the next generation

the damaged will learn

to keep spinning wheels of abuse

ah

the torment spreads

war inside my head

please just set me free

you call this. a family?
