Nightmares

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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
