Broken Bones

Please don’t tread upon our faith Or pay the ferryman till’ its safe, We’ve been the blind now let us be the worthy, The fractured thoughts we hid away, In the place we weren’t allowed to say, We’re older now and deserve our share of mercy. To share the truth that’s on our mind, The ones we prayed no one would find, To put an end to this abusive monster, Because our silence just condones, The beast that hid our broken bones, Who stole our innocence for which to squander. No more whispers in our eyes, No more living with these lies, It’s time the public get to see behind the curtain It’s time to free our chains of youth, Explain why we’re misunderstood, And unload ourselves from this eternal burden.
