Nursery rhymes depicted
from another place in time
fairy tales told to innocent kids
who naively believed every little bit.
A figment of one's imagination
twisted and corroded,
just like a rat taking to bait
snapping it's head off
in one fell swoop
Hair matted with blood and flies
all because mommy and daddy
told us a bunch of deceitful lies.
Unforgiving, maybe, but
take a closer look and you'll see
me and sissy aren't the only ones
who believed.
Mommy and daddy
fell for the stories too
the day that they said I do.
Their marriage wasn't all rosy
like they led some to believe.
