Claws & Fangs & Poison (Part 1)

Claws and fangs and poison dripping from their lips without any of them realizing although they rip and bite and infect

They expect you to be blind Just like them, until someone makes them turn over And you see the bitter truth of the covered side You see and know that it can never be only roses and light ever again

A house full of kind, cheery, glowing faces An unnoticed veil lifted and burned And the shock seeps into your bones and floods your heart You can't believe your eyes and you feel like you will implode

The veil had mercifully masked the truth and you wish you still wore it The people were mutated, with claws and hooks and fangs and toxic spit They attacked each other with blindfolds, you notice your own cuts Cuts, and shreds of flesh, bruises, and oozing yellow pus, burns, and assortments of scars
