Pillars Of Hope

We're raised like a weed
And trapped in unbearable circumstances
We fought the disease
Your absence is reality
For hours I stood
Next to your lump of drunk flesh
Shouting and crying
In a room filled with mold and vermin
A childhood filled with void and darkness
Self-harm marks my pain of your abuse
It's my pillar of hope
That shines in your field of absence

Hey father
Please wake up
It's time to be our hero
Hey mother
Please answer
It's time to nurture

How will it heal?
Tears are dry replaced by fear
How can I feel?
When love has been stolen from me
For hours I stood
Next to your lump of drunk flesh
Shouting and crying
In a room filled with mold and vermin

Hey father
Please wake up
It's time to be our hero
Hey mother
Please answer
It's time to nurture

Hey father
Please wake up
It's time to be our hero
Hey mother
Please answer
It's time to nurture
