We’ve got to grow our home
From the seeds we sow
We feed the walls
With screams of anger
We flush the happiness
While inflicting so much pain
And waste hours upon hours
In front of the television
He tells us “it’s okay”
He tells us “it’s normal”
“All families fight and
All families hate
All families will destroy the rest of your life”
We go to the fridge
To chill our hearts
And to dull our senses
For the next massacre
But when we go out
We never forget our masks
To hide the distraught faces
We have molded ourselves
