House of Fear

so you want to know what it's like
living in a house of pain and fear
ever little sound you jump; your heart pounds in fright
you hear someone coming; run and try to hide
never knowing if you’ll be met with anger or a smile
always it’s your fault; from it rained to not answering the phone
then you have to pay in buries; or deep cutting words of pain
afraid to upset someone afraid to pay the price
telling them anything to make them smile even if it’s a lie
then comes the day you just want the pain to end
you're hurting inside you want to die
striking out at them hoping to stop the pain
so one way or another the hurting will end
looking into the face of rage
wishing that today’s your final day
only you live to face it all another day
until you’re so beaten down; living to die
he whispers something in your ear
"no one wants you"
then your heart and soul dies
