lyrics

My mother and I stand side by side
I’m scared and she swears that the monsters won’t get me
But shadows still feed all my fears as they linger

And today is the very first day of school
And on top of the blackboard the golden rule

And people start out with such fragile skin
You’d never know what it’s holding in.
Don’t tell me
I can’t stand the truth and I’m crumbling


My sister and I stand side by side
A fight for affection that everyone’s losing
The home is unkind and the world is no kinder

I tell her that she just remembers wrong
But the truth is it was my fault all along

And hope is the burden that we carry
The tale that I'm telling is cautionary
Don’t touch me
I can’t heal the wound while the knife is in


My daughter and I stand side by side
Both caring as much as we can without listening
The blind lead the blind and the chasm grows wider

I cannot breathe life into anything
Baby bird learns to fall down instead of sing
And I thought I’d be
The exception
I paved all the roadways with good intentions

Don’t trust me
I can’t fight the monsters I'm one of them
