Monsters emerge in the light of the day.
“Fear the darkness”, they say- it’s a lie.
some of your friends may be foes, by the way.
Grooming: the process to ruin- betrayal.
His, was the hand you were comforted by.
Monsters emerge in the light of the day.
When pain suffocates your insides into decay;
You confide your mother through tears that’re dry.
Some of your friends may be foes, by the way!
You say you don’t carry the scars on display.
Mourn the time you dressed in heels and a skirt.
Monsters emerge in the light of the day.
Her eyes see the truth but her mouth only prays.
‘Bout the night you came with your back smeared in dirt,
Some of your friends may be foes, by the way.
When pain leaks out, courage is what stays.
Both victims of one, with no justice in sight,
Monsters emerge in the light of the day.
Some of your friends are your foes, by the way.
