Lyrics

For years I felt your pain
The tumor you hid was making your body turn blue
I chose to ignore it thinking it was psychological
I made myself believe that it was irreversible

I chose to ignore it thinking I was better off dead

Your feet are skinned alive
The smile you hold
Is nothing but a precious lie
I chose to ignore thinking it was psychological
I made myself believe it thinking I was irreversible

For years I felt your pain…
For years…
Mother; sister
Father of mine; tonight
For years I felt your pain
Mommy, look into my eyes
For years I felt your pain
Tonight, tonight’s the night I set you free
For years I felt your pain…
