Fear Of Ghosts
Oh, the Sisters of Blindness
from the Convent of the Broken Heart,
they want to smother it with kindness,
they want to tear it all apart.
And there's a rock of sterile virtu'
in the centre of the bay....
I'm so sorry he hurt you,
but don't throw yourself away.
You only wanted to have some fun,
you only wanted to try it;
you only wanted to be someone,
but everybody denies it.
Why's it so hard to make you listen?
Don't go and change your name...
learning to lose can be
the start of winning the game.
You're so special, such sad
Run
Run Run Run
Keep on beating them down
What could make you so mad
To beat your own children black and blue
Your time will come
When the beat downs turn to you
You call yourself a man
Your children black and blue
Once again, black and blue
Once again, black and blue
Run Run Run
Why don't you walk away
Abusive husbands
A childhood lost betrayed
Run Run Run
The old man is drunk again
From the hand that feeds
It turns into a fist
The nightmares are our memories
The broken homes and noses that bleed
Afraid to stay nowhere to turn
Domestic violence tragedies
Run Run Run
Why don't you walk away
Abusive husbands
A childhood lost betrayed
Run Run Run
Why don't you walk away
You need to make a choice
Because things will never change
I ask the mothers
Why dont you walk away
Abusive husbands
A childhood lost betrayed
The nightmares are our memories
The broken homes and noses that bleed
Afraid to stay nowhere to turn
Domestic violence tragedies
Run Run Run
Keep on beating them down
What could make you so mad
To beat your own children?
