Sis, the one I hope to find when the light goes dim
Sis, the one who clothed me in shame when I shared my hell
You know him as angel but I have seen his claws and horns
I have felt his wrath
I called myself weak and thought maybe I wanted it and maybe its on me
I didn't scream because I was too afraid
Maybe just maybe I didn't want the attention it'd birth, the shame and the gossiping
I have seen girl's get destroyed for speaking up
So I hussed it
I didn't know the silence was kerosene
I was foolish to think the inferno in me wouldn't spread and stay hidden
The hurt was howling like a lone wolf
Seeing you give him, your heart was like luminol
I couldn't hide behind fear anymore
It haunted me
It escaped through my bad attitude
It stole from my soul
My pillow sponged up too many tears My wrist has too many scars
It wasn't about me, sis
I feared what he would do to you, so I shared my agony
Sis, the one I hope to find when the light goes dim
Called me a liar
The ship I anchored when the sea got rough spat me out
It cut deep cause I would never treat you that way
He lied and lied
And I saw the cracks in our sisterhood unravel
He sold you baloney and you ate it
I felt your soul believe every word he crafted
I beseeched you to see the beast behind his gorgeous smile
But you crucified me
And put a tire on my neck
Sis, the one I hope to find when the light goes dim
