Pictures of Torture Traced Forever

Your soul is dead like your eyes
Its very hard to disguise
A troubled past you can't forget
Which is making you upset
When your mind is always racing
With pictures that you are tracing
Over and over again
From a bad place you have been
Eyes open or even closed 
There is no way to dispose
Of these images you see
There for all eternity
With no chance of ever getting
Rid of them, they're always letting
Out their dark and scary secrets
Your fighting never to see it
But the strength and power is too strong
They kept pulling you along
On a road of desperation
Tryna' find some separation
Against the cruelty forced on you
Emotional thoughts turn into
Daily struggles and sorrow
Night will turn an new tomorrow
Into damage you can't fix
That keeps pounding painful kicks 
In your heart making it bruise
Each kick gets you more confused
Why your the one being haunted 
Put through torture, badly 
All because you couldn't tell
About your family life of hell
