Scorngrain - Mural lyrics

rate me

Pressure got too intense inside

your picture-perfect shell.

Didn't believe no more

it's like that with others too.

Tore this facade apart

and ripped the curtains down.

Forced to please them both,

world you grew into.

Mural...

of lifelong trauma.

Family portrait painted with blood

Domestic violence and homocide.

With no doubt, with no remorse.

An eye for an eye justifies the cause.

Cry of the victim painted

to the walls with one shade.

Keep the colors running wild

with dull razorblade.

Mural...

of lifelong trauma.

Family portrait painted with blood

You dressed their contorted faces

into smile with braces and length of wire.

Cut the lids of dried out eyes

to gaze your masterpiece with wonder.

Instead of opening the floodgates

you took the future in your own hands.

Disregarded, manipulated

and touched by your very own blood.

Made daddy wear church suit

and sit next to mom on her Sunday dress.

Convincing yourself

there was a time they were proud of you.

Mural...

of lifelong trauma.

Family portrait painted with blood

Mural...
