"The Uninvited Truth"

His father used to beat him down
He thinks that gives him the right to push her around
Bloody noses resonate inside
He beats them night and day and crushes her pride

Just open your eyes and see her face
You won't be laughing
Her least favourite scars don't shine so bright
With no-one to save her

As he falls down to the surface
Fires off a new scar
And why should we sympathise with that?
And why should we sympathise?
He's not sympathetic
Sympa-pathetic
Songs that we know will push him away
To be so cool, so cruel with the tip of his shoulder
As he gets older, the kicks get harder
He won't stop, the red fall never stops
She's always hurt but she's still afraid to run away, run away

Just open your eyes and see her face
You won't be laughing
Her least favourite scars don't shine so bright
With no-one to save her

Just open your eyes and see her face
Her pretty face
There's nothing domestic about this abuse, yeah
The uninvited truth remains behind closed doors

Just open your eyes and see her face
You won't be laughing
Her least favourite scars don't shine so bright
With no-one to save her

Just open your eyes and see her face
You won't be laughing
Her least favourite scars don't shine so bright
With no-one to save her
