Contempt

I remember the first time I saw what they did we were still young, just little kids The pain, the hurt, the bruises you had and all the beatings from your dad Hey, your mom would get drunk join in on the fun It's time for a beat down and you're the target on the run Living in a hell, but no one believes there could be anything wrong with your perfect family So you did what they said and didn't wind up dead Every night before bed your sheets would turn to red For years you stuck it out, too scared to reach out Memories you thought were dead Tears that felt like lead Pain and terror is back again your dreams won't let go you want revenge, it's all you know Now you're older, not scared anymore the ones that hurt you have to pay been waiting years for this judgement day The time is now for you to have your say I'll stand by your side like I have for years and we'll never forget all the tears It's time to put this in the past go on with your life at last.
