In the laundry room where secrets hide
Thrown against the wall feeling pain inside
Evil in the dark shining bright by day
Vibrant smile masking all the dismay

Dad's a hero out in the light
But demons take control out of sight
Walls can't talk but I wish they could
Tell the truth that's misunderstood

Behind closed doors the monster roars
In laundry rooms where spirits pour
Behind closed doors where darkness thrives
Living two lives to survive

Bruises form where love should be
Chains of fear binding silently
No one knows the shadows deep
Buried secrets I alone keep

Public face of cheer and grace
Behind
It's a violent place
Hidden scars in my heart and mind
Fragment pieces left to find

Behind closed doors the monster roars
In laundry rooms where spirits pour
Behind closed doors where darkness thrives
Living two lives to survive
