5475, the Butterfly Effect

5475 (The Butterfly Effect) Took away my sanity, amongst all your depravity- Everyone told me she’s a new leaf on the tree now do everything you can do to protect her, no matter how They get it, they fed it Only telling me they’re listening and I just need a christening The devil is too far in, sinking into my skin How the f*** do I cleanse because I’m not making amends She made sinning a trend give a f*** who she offends From one end to the other Is this what happens when a girl has no father? Born into the system, maybe also a victim. Silence Stay quiet, but don’t hide At least then you could save your pride Depression, or confession? Lying in the dirt with the important half of your clothes off “you like this, it’s ok” 5475 was the day I was told I was dirty No Now this is what you call a round two Except this was different, it involved you a stranger can take away your precious soul and use for his own pleasure To use beyond all measure But the devil can take him for herself and the soul, the man here stole “be quiet” 6205 What a time to be alive Took away my sanity Amongst all your depravity I’m the one in the wrong How dare it take so long I look at you and I know the truth Behind those bright blue eyes, I known What lies there lie Demons are fine I see them all the time Then there’s you, deceitful You guessed it, my evil The devil is in. Sunk in my skin. And you let her in.
