Metal House
Dear Devil,
You sneaks into my house at night
Paralyzing our voices when need to be spoken And poking at heartbroken woman with no windows
I believe you loves our type of sorrow
The sorrow that’s covered up by jokes and smiles so frowns don’t live on our face as they should God knows those are our real expression
You take our happiest moments and turns them into our harshest memories which lead to emotions that haunt our souls
You fold our pride cause you know sooner or later the ladder that holds us up will fall again
Cause you just know sooner or later the ladder that holds us up will fall again
You love to make a scene
Putting light bills in plain sight to fight the intentions of my mothers joke knowing my father doesn’t make enough
You stirs up shit so good you don't have to make a sound to start a riot
It starts by a push a shove and brush you brings out the biggest guns I’ve ever seen before and turn our dream into…. well you know
The monsters under my bed can’t touch me when the light is out but when your in the house the monster in my head play hopscotch on my scalp
I think you chose us
Because you seeks out loopholes we go through to make our pain disappear and clear our conscious but when you punch in
This residence turns into a jungle
Fever wouldn't know what hit when that favorite soldier the almighty come in my house
My home becomes Hell if not the hottest place in the world
Breathing on our necks whispering in my our ears fight
It’s like you teach us this repetitive lesson of forgive but never forget except without the forgive part
See this man has the power to make cheaters stutter
You give my mother her psychotic breaks
And rips my sisters heart with I can’t do this anymore messages and miscarriages from first time sex
Kills my brother dreams by words of hate
And breaks the silence of my prayers with fists full of rage with no name that knocks me into next week
Your always in my refrigerator taunting me but I always look and get the same results because sometimes I forget we struggle again
See this man shows up out of nowhere worse then my fucking period
But you chose us cause you feeds on not our struggles but our strength
And though I am the only Leo I was raised in a lion's den
So you think you sneaks into my house at night
Yet we welcome you
With matts before you enter
Cookies on the plate the holidays giving you the same respect as saint nick
You do grant us ultimate strength
We make you palates beside our bedrooms floors
Filling your head with superiority and heart with audacity
See you choice us because you knows were open to be broken
But we know the ladder that you've tried pushed down
The walls of cries from sins we think we commit
And struggles that we have already overcome
Will disappear in the morning
When you've run away
Out of ways to defeat and out feet still plant the ground
I mean like steel they plants into the ground
You can't move us
The death storm didn't even tear us apart
We built the brick house that runs the wolf out of business, so now what
But it has been a pleasure
Till we meet again tomorrow night
Sincerely, Me
