Sheltered Lyrics by David Near

Seeing Red

2019

[Verse 1]
From an early fucking age the shell was harboring the rage
All I want is someone to play with, not restraint and isolation
What a sheltered way to live, is this world all you say it is
I'd never know cause I can't exist, I'm not allowed to be part of this
You turned them all away, the filth is washed away, the fleeting semblance of normality
Just stay right here with me. I'm all you fucking need! You live and die with your family
[Chorus]
I've never known anything, but you! You massacred all I am, so fuck you
A mother's love was never enough, so I had to beg for more
I agonized over things I'd never have. You were the reason I turned out to be so bad
A mother's love is not enough, so I had to kill for more
[Verse 2]
And now I'm draped in flesh... the blood is running down my chest
The compulsion, the drive, the explosion of spite
The dysfunction they highlight, disruptions in my life
Oh... in my life... in my... fucking... life
I can't hear anything, erase, my fate. You stole it all from me, replaced, with hate
Just stay right here with me, I'm all you fucking need! You live and die with your family
[Chorus]
I've never known anything, but you! You massacred all I am, so fuck you A mother's love was never enough, so you made me beg for more I agonized over things I'd never have. You were the reason I turned out to be so bad A mother's love is not enough, so I had to kill for more
[Bridge]
The devil's dance in moonlight. Cascading down a new life
I'll live... and die... with who I want to be!
The obsession, I hide. The thorn in my side
I was thrown into a life I was not equipped to survive
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, you
