This Pretty Place Isn't So Perfect
Astray went the runaway
You can call me that
Because I'm going to find an escape
And get away from this ugly place
The only things that come true
Are the ones I'm so scared to see
The ones that I've already felt
The experiences
The horror
The painful realization
That this world isn't a happy place
The beautiful outdoors
Change to horrific things
The life I see, in everyone's eyes
Is shatter in the night
When his powerful touch
Steals more innocence
Blinds a young girl's eyes
He shattered my world
Tore my heart to pieces
He touched me without permission
And now, his soul belongs to Hell
Is it possible
For such a beautiful world
To have a lie hiding the reality of it
This life was not meant to be stolen
This innocence was a sheild
A cover to be unveiled
Something we're taught to protect
Something we're taught is sacred
Something to keep until we're safe
In someone's arms
Someone we trust
Someone that won't shatter our hearts
But the sickos in the night
Take everything they can get
They break you into pieces
They smash you on the ground
They think what they're doing
Is okay and is right
But that's were they're wrong
So, here, I sit and write
I explain these things
To those people who can't understand
The ones that think this world is so beautiful
Just enjoy it while you can
