Betrayed Lyrics
Set up, sole intention only to use
When you want out, threaten abuse
The perfect family, but it's all for show
False accusation, The lowest of the low
(Chorus)
Betrayed. Like A Rat
Just feed them drink drugs and anything they want
The perfect mother, it all comes back to haunt
Dad's just a liar, scheming from the start
Watch your twisted world as it falls apart
(repeat chorus X2)
Liar!
(Solo)
To make them something, to relieve your guilt
Would you stop at nothing and would you even kill?
your only dynasty is, lies and scum
All you've done is taught them, evil they become
When you want out, threaten abuse
The perfect family, but it's all for show
False accusation, The lowest of the low
The perfect mother, it all comes back to haunt
Dad's just a liar, scheming from the start
Watch your twisted world as it falls apart
Would you stop at nothing and would you even kill?
your only dynasty is, lies and scum
All you've done is taught them, evil they become

The song exposes the facade of a seemingly flawless family that is driven by the father and mother figures who use and abuse their kids to get their way. The father is a deceitful schemer, and the mother hides her true intentions behind a false image of a perfect mother who both feed their children alcohol and drugs, leading them down crooked paths, only for it to backfire on them later. Their kids are symbolized by rats, portraying their vulnerability, and feelings of being used and discarded like lab mice. Eventually, they rise up and betray their parents, giving them their judgment.
