Pink Walls

When I was seven
The world within these walls was heaven
Father painted it pink with little daisies
Smiles kissed us like a summer breeze
Then I was thirteen
There was always a terrible scene
Father saw red with all that we said
Frozen and afraid, I stared straight
At the pink walls
I remember there was always a fight
I’m gonna paint the walls a pleasant white
I’m gonna paint and forget those nights
I recall
There was a villain in your mind
It was a dark cloud of raging pride
A heavy cloud I feel will now subside
at the end of these pink walls
Father, we became machines
Chairs flung, fists slammed, tearful yells and screams
You left us at these walls one night
Frozen and afraid, I fell right
At the pink walls
I remember there was always a fight
I’m gonna paint the walls a pleasant white
I’m gonna paint and forget those nights
I recall
There was a villain in your mind
It was a dark cloud of raging pride
A heavy cloud I feel will now subside
at the end of these pink walls
At the pink walls
I remember there was always a fight
I’m gonna paint the walls a pleasant white
I’m gonna paint and forget those nights
I recall
There was a villain in your mind
It was a dark cloud of raging pride
A heavy cloud I feel will now subside
at the end of these pink walls
