On her death bed
Staring at the moon
Serenity devoured by the demons in bloom
She said
?I wish I could see heaven father but I have sinned
These are cracks within my bones
These are bruises on my skin
Am I right am I wrong
Give one reason to go on
I wish I was your perfect ten
I wish I could transcend
Do you just stare?
Would you take my hand?
Do you just stare?
Please take my hand
Don't just stare
You've shown no mercy
You've watched my pain
A gift-wrapped nothing is all you ever gave
A daughter cries
A brother runs
A mother screams in twisted tongues
A father hangs his head in shame
No one left to blame

In "Stare,” Justin recalls the trauma of a childhood friend, who took her own life after years of sexual abuse. “I was 11 years old,” he says. “My granddad and I found her hanging from a tree. Her eyes were open. She used her dog’s leash and the dog was running around in circles beneath her feet. It was something that haunted me for a long time.”
