I heard about your story on the internet
One of those things that was too gruesome to forget
We like to pretend it doesn't exist if we don't see
We like to keep our noses clean
Baby, hell opened up and it swallowed you
Daisy, the world's good at pretending there was nothing we could do
These unseen horrors echo through us all
We wear our blinders, we put up walls
We keep our evil locked in books and art
We learn to plug our ears to the weeping of our hearts
Baby, hell opened up and it swallowed you
Daisy, the world's good at pretending there was nothing we could do
Maybe suffering isn't only yours or only mine
Daisy, evil has been with us for a long, long time
The fight is always on and never ends
We roam the in between where angels can't defend
And every turn we take makes us gods or men
May the hurt I feel for you make me a better friend
These forces may be stronger than we'll ever be
But Daisy you've opened my heart and you've made me see
The only thing between us is what we let there be
And we must choose to love what's lovely
