Monsters in the Dark

A little girl raised in hell

Easy prey to be passed around

A child forsaken and alone

Is there no mercy to be found?

Where can you run to?

Who will believe you?

So you do as you’re told

And you don't make a sound

I see monsters in the dark

how dare you call me crazy

I see monsters in the dark

You never tried to save me

From the monsters in the dark

You always put yourself first

So i was the sacrificial lamb

And every time you turned away

Moulded the woman that i am

The secrets i carry, this rage that i bury

Beneath the bravado, but you don’t give a damn

I see monsters in the dark

how dare you call me crazy

I see monsters in the dark

You never tried to save me

From the monsters in the dark

I came of age and struggled free

From all the guilt you tried to lay on me

You need me now, well, cry some more

Where were your tears when you listened at my door?

To heal the heart, you must let go

But forgiveness may be a bridge too far

I’d like to think you did your best

But i know the narcissist you are

The key to survival is never denial

It’s simply in living, accepting every scar

I see monsters in the dark

how dare you call me crazy

I see monsters in the dark

You never tried to save me

From the monsters in the dark
