What You Didn't Know
Location
When I was little
I was too friendly; always talking to strangers
And my parents were afraid that a dark man
Would take me away and I would never be seen from again
Only what they didn't know --
What they didn't know
Was that, that man is inside of me
And he's taken over who I am until
There is nothing about me left
There is only him and an empty shell
Of blonde hair and blue eyes.
But see what they don't tell you
Is that the pills don't work
And god knows therapy doesn't work
That this struggle is only for you
And you alone
But you didn't know
The man in the dark trench coat
Could scare you this much
What you didn't know could kill you
And what your parents don't know could lose the a daughter or a son
But what you don't know
and what you can't see right now
Is that the will to fight
Is better than anything else you could conceive
On those dark lonely days
And that
Is what you didn't know
