lyrics

He stared at me with his black eyes and said,
"Thank you, Father, you seem to be the only one who cares,"
He lay in his bed pale, tubes diffusing from his arm
Dangling like the life left in Their hands

He keeps putting his faith in me and our God
He wants to have something to replace his distant son
But he can’t hear me when I think of him at night
So is it so bad no one knows my lie?

She stared at me with her red eyes and said,
"Thank you, Father, you seem to be the only one who cares,"
Her praise brought me warmth and helped me forget my sins
I rely on others to make me feel significant

I’m not worth anything

Am I evil inside?
I won’t dare touch them
Am I evil inside?
I would never touch

She keeps putting her faith in me and our God
She wants something to replace her distant mom
But she can’t hear me when I think of her at night
So is it so bad no one knows my lie?

And I ignore the mind that can’t control my body
No man should be put to this test
Does this mean that I’m stronger
Or just weak for lying to myself?
