The Star

Father was a minister, a predator Mother, complicit, and in pain Brother, an adversary, a villain, and a threat The inner child crying out in vain No where to run Nowhere to go No place to hide To be alone Tell a child that who they are is sin That this world is not their home Watch the fight and fire die within Watch a star become a black hole Little yellow house at the end of the road Locked inside together, nowhere to go You yell at me; you'll always be alone And suddenly this house is not my home No where to run Nowhere to go No place to hide To be alone Tell a girl her gender is a sin And you'd rather be alone Watch the fight and fire die within Watch a star become a black hole Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohh When a child hears that what's within No one ever wants to know How can you love her, for she is sin Watch a star become a black hole You'll never love me, for I am sin Watch my heart become a black hole
