Cuts Like A Knife

Death that runs so darkly

Fire in the night

Blood drains like my heartbeat

Monster in disguise

A child born from trauma

A devil in LA

The nightmare’s taking over

My father’s here to stay

He’s buried deep inside me

My truth will always hurt

I try to push it under

The story never works

I told my mom I hate her

I wish that she was dead

But now I’m so afraid

I’ll kill someone instead
