love is not your parents lies,
it's a myth that they create,
true expression you're denied,
in their "love" it has no place,
love is not your parents lies,
do they really care for you?
why then must they hide behind,
duty + guilt that smothers you.
love is not your parents lies,
strung up by hostility, never doubt that they're so
kind, it's a sordid parody,
love is not your parents lies,
blackmail keeps you in your place,
you can struggle you can try,
but they won't see your real face.
love is not your parents lies,
but you dare not face this fact,
their pretence at paradise,
keeps you down + holds you back,
love is not your parents lies,
smash the myth of unquestioned love,
it's a role they hide behind, dumb pretence is not enough.
