We Walk Amongst the Faithful
We walk amongst the faithful.
Unknown to human eyes.
So normal and so human,
They can't see through our disguise.
The tears of angels made us
As they flew down from the sky.
They didn't want to do it,
So all they did was cry.
We're stuck amongst the ruin.
The horror and despair.
We've seen a bit too closely
To the heart of Evil's lair.
We walk amongst the faithful.
Unknown to human eyes.
So normal and so human,
They can't see through our disguise.
We're scarred up on the inside,
But outside we're just fine.
We hide the truth so well
They can't see into our lies.
Our daddies were all drinkers.
And when they would get mad,
They'd take it out us poor souls,
And boy were we so glad
When Daddy drank himself to sleep,
And we could go and hide.
Carve another scar into our heart
Which was hidden deep inside.
We walk amongst the faithful
Unknown to human eyes
So normal and so human
They can't see through our disguise.
Our mommies all liked men
Perhaps a bit too much
They sampled fair and far
And didn't mind the touch.
When Mommy fell asleep,
Her boyfriends would come down
And they would scare us half to death
And they'd start to mess around.
And after they were done
Ravaging our broken souls
We'd take our chance to run
And hide from things we'd never know.
We walk amongst the faithful
Unknown to human eyes
So normal and so human
They can't see through our disguise.
Our families are all broken
We have no place to hide
No place to let our tears out
Let out what hurts inside.
And now we sit here all alone
In this dark corner as all hope
Evades our longing hands
We've lost our way to cope.
And now we hide our feelings
And what they've done to every “me”.
We hold our chins up high.
We do not let them see.
We walk amongst the faithful
Unknown to human eyes
So normal and so humans
Can't see through our disguise
We pretend it doesn't happen
We can't let anyone know
Our traitor of a heart
Is something we can't show.
Would anyone even understand
What we hold inside our hearts?
Or would we be a freak show
A different world apart?
Maybe one day we will find one
Every single one of us
Someone who will understand
Someone we can trust.
