Embalmed with the fairy tales
Tangled webs and happy trails
Melted chocolate eyes and thrill
Smile sweet and ever still
But bubbling underneath
A fever threaten sleep
I watched you wake, and gasp for air
And held you through your night tears
Held you through the nightmares
The cancer crept through your skin
The shame eats at your purse and skirt
Should've known the way you leapt from him
Buried his love beneath slandered hills

He lost his place, you lost your taste
Added me upon your plate
To settle down the belly ache
Shame you learned at early age
Your mother taught your father hate
Raised yourself on borrowed praise
To coat the mold that fill your place

And now hell warms your embrace
A bird rattling within uncaged thoughts
You're terrified of flying when your wings are clipped
Living in a cage that's cracked and barely bends
You're terrified of flying when your wings are clipped
Living in a cage that's cracked and barely bends
You watch as life passes you by
And
Pictures moving as you wipe your eyes

I stayed there with you for a time
You dress your wounds in silken lies
You wove your fabric next to mine
My closet filled with dirt and grime
No bleach will lift these stains of mine
