Pitted against each other
Sister and a Brother
By a man you took in
Who only sat back and grinned
Said you didn’t know
How my mind it would go
In and out of love
Still, looking up above
Things looked pretty and nice
Though, they came with a price
What made him so mad
When we all should have been glad
Time hasn’t changed a thing
With that voice, you could sing
It hurt me that you kept it in
Because of a man who sat back and grinned
We were supposed to be close
Who took the overdose?
No one did care
Just headed on to the State Fair
Remembering the beatings
You were absent for the greetings
Could a child fight the sins
From your man who sits back and grins?
