It's hopeless and helpless
I'm tired of the charade
Neglected in a corner
A lamp with a dirty shade
I'm caught amongst the clutter
Poor judgement is all I've known
It takes one step and then another
To make this life my own
What I've been taught
Doesn't need to be shown
What I must learn
Must be learned on my own
Symptoms of the sickness
The mask without a face
Inevitable weakness
Unable to relate
Sense of self
Set to filter deceit
Focus on the point
And manifest my needs
We're normalized to pascify
Blind where we should see
We hide behind the curtain
With the secrets that we keep
Solutions to a problem
That they just don't want to hear
Just repress the stomach pain
The shame, guilt, and fear
Can she recognize a victim
Without witnessing a crime
Apathetic mother's face
Sour like a lime
Decades of deception
Without daddy's point of view
You can't protect the helpless
If you are helpless too
Untreatable dillemas
Undercover blown
Inevitable madness
The seed that I have sown
Sense of self
Set to filter deceit
Focus on the point
And manifest my needs
Criticize and genderize
Recycle what you know
Show me where my
weakness is
I'll show you how I'll grow
Symptoms of the sickness
The mask without a face
Inevitable weakness
Unable to relate
Criticize and genderize
Recycle what you know
Show me where my
weakness is
I'll show you how I'll grow
Untreatable dillemas
Undercover blown
Inevitable madness
The seed that I have sown
Sense of Self
Set to filter deceit
Focus on the point
And manifest my needs
Stuck in life
No choice
Inherited
Given my circumstance
Inevitably me
