This used to be a pretty happy family
Now in it's place is fake smiles
And forced happiness
I used to be excited to come home
Used to love hanging out with everyone
But now I make plans after plans
To try and avoid going home
But even if I'm not at home the
Nightmares are there when I fall asleep
Nightmares of emptiness, broken promises, crushed families...
The list goes on and on
