Lemur Voice

Childhood Facade

Lemur Voice


I feel so empty, so full of fear 
Held incommunicado by his stealing of energy 
Another day seems so futile in this age of habit 
'What's your part in this': 
I can hear his deafening whisper 
The purpose is concealed so delicately 
My fear, his power 
Just to wash his facade in ignorance 

My childhood, your facade 
No right, you had no right 
No reason, no reason to forgive 
Your childhood facade 

Possibly initiated so long ago 
Rooted behavior 
Excuse me, I can't forgive 
You should have acknowledged those 
rare moments of clarity 
Too cowardly to open your eyes 
So easy to accuse me 
To wash your facade in innocence 

My childhood, your facade 
No right, you had no right 
No reason, no reason to forgive 
Your childhood facade 

Possibly initiated so long ago 
Rooted behavior 
Excuse me, I can't forgive 
You should have acknowledged those 
rare moments of clarity 
Too cowardly to open your eyes 
So easy to accuse me 
To wash your facade in innocence 

My heart, my silent witness will not forget 
Its fear will hate a lifetime 
To prevent a new age of habit
