FAMILY SHAME
IT FEELS SO SAFE TO KEEP YOUR THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS DEEP INSIDE
WHEN YOUR HISTORY HAS SO MUCH TO HIDE
IT FEELS SAFE TO THINK THAT NO ONE KNOWS THE TRUTH
OF THE MYSTERIES THAT LIE DEEP WITHIN
A FAMILY SO FILLED WITH SIN
OUTSIDE IT LOOKS ALL OKAY
INSIDE YOU HOPE IT WILL JUST GO AWAY - ONE DAY
SECRETS KEPT DEEP WITHIN
A FAMILY SO SHAMED WITH SIN
AT TIMES I JUST WANT TO SHOUT IT OUT
TO TELL THE TRUTH OF WHAT OUR FAMILY IS REALLY ABOUT
LIES AND DECEPTION, HATRED AND LOVE
PEACE AND UNPEACE
WILL IT EVER BE OKAY
THE TRUTH TO RELEASE
OR SHOULD I CONTINUE TO HIDE
FROM THE UGLINESS AND LIES
OR SHOULD I JUST PRETEND
THAT THERE WAS NO SIN
THESE SECRETS OF DECEPTION HAVE MADE MY LIFE A CURSE
AND KEEPING THEM INSIDE HAS ONLY MADE IT WORSE
BUT
LETTING IT OUT WILL CAUSE TOO MUCH HURT
SO
I MUST TAKE WITH ME TO MY GRAVE
THE TRUE HISTORY OF MY FAMILY SHAME
