I guess you stop seeing them as human

When you get used to your mothers screams

It's easier for us to ignore the monster in the other room and focus on what we can control

Brothers and sister alike

Turn a blind eye to his crimes

Will anyone question the madness?

Will anyone here grow a heart?

It's easier to not feel sick when you pretend that they're just collections of bionic parts.

I guess it helps me not be human

To shut my eyes and cover my ears

Close my door and go back to bed

Or turn her away with her pleas for help

No one bothers to question the obvious

No one ever stands up to the beast

In this house they always brainwashed us

Now we use that to pretend we can't see

And sometimes I feel a little sick

Thinking of them as people who feel

I'm disgusted by my apathy

That I can switch on when it gets too real

A normal person would care

A normal person would help

A normal person wouldn't write poetry

Or try to use this as my key out of hell
