Eatin' Apple Pie
An tryin' not to cry
The memories won't stop
Look in the mirror
The pain is back
Quick, push it away
Before it's gone to far
...hidden in the bathroom—Laughingly drinking champagne (Aleja's wedding)
...days lived with friends
Quick, wipe that tear away
He'll see
The home I know is deadly
My soul aches for the past
Quick, hide the hurt
Put on a smile
...(Make a joke)
...reading under the madrones
...hidden in the creek
...watching the stars
They won't stop
Help
Quick, swim for escape
I must stop feeling
I cut off my limb
So I can let go
Hidden in a corner
Hoping to be seen
The tears return
They never left
Simply hidden
No one can know
Love is cruel
Pain knows no bounds
Homes are broken
Lies are true
My future is here
...truths revealed
...my life ends...
...hugging Grace goodbye
...closing the gate
My soul screams
Hands are tied
It drags me down
It's so dark
Quick ... let go
The pain
It's gone
I feel fine
Just fine
Tell no one
Quick forget.
The mask is back
My home is empty
My home... is a house
