Treachery… - Vices

No one turns to their father when they’re only fifteen

When the weight of the world has got you down in the dirt

With your sense of self worth

But it only takes a moment

Just one blink and everything you know

Your child’s last chance to grow

Is over before you know

The foundation fell from under

It fell from under your feet

She went to your arms for help

You only thought of yourself

A friend to the family

Your eyes were treachery

You pretended to comfort her

She needed someone to love her

Tears washed against her scars in you arms

The damage is done

It can never be undone

The damage is done

But it only takes a moment

Just one blink and everything you know

Your child’s last moment to grow

Is over before you know

The foundation fell from under

It fell from under your feet
