In the Dark

You say don't talk about it You say let it be You say its too dark And the words are scary. Don't speak the unspeakable Let the rape and murder Remain a headline to disappear. Don't discuss the pedophile Who isn't bothering your child ... Yet. A moviestar father talks to his daughter Like she is crap Just another rap All he has to do is apologize. Thats the new deal ... just apologize And It will pass and be forgotten except For the darkness of her pain. Her pain that will remain Forever. I am sick in this darkness Oh God, if you exist Please help me undo this twist Of the knife in my soul Of the rage that I feel This can't all be real Oh God what have we done ... How could we? How could we?
