Queen of Masks

[hooville]

Queen of masks

I’m sorry that you were
Anything less than what you expected
Or what you wanted
You should have been famous but we’re stuck with what He gave us
That’s what you said
Did you mean it?
Did you believe it when the belt came down
Did you believe that love made that sound
All the screaming

So here’s to the queen
Shes the one in the paper mask
Still the hurt shows through from the damage that was done
In times long past
And here’s to her dreams
The ones she can’t admit she had
Stoic to the end but reeling from the blows of a violent dad

Of the sisters and two brothers
She bore the curse of being the oldest
Got hit hardest
And he did much more than he would ever know
Because he died before he had a chance to reap what he’d sewn
The emptiness and anger she felt
Made her lash out because she blamed herself

So here’s to the queen
Shes the one in the paper mask
Still the hurt shows through from the damage that was done
In times long past
And here’s to her dreams
The ones she can’t admit she had
Stoic to the end but reeling from the blows of a violent dad

All the screaming, all the screaming out 3x
All the screaming, made her lash out

So here’s to the queen
Shes the one in the paper mask
Still the hurt shows through from the damage that was done
In times long past
And here’s to her dreams
The ones she can’t admit she had
Stoic to the end but reeling from the blows of a violent dad
