Keeping the Faith: Forever the Waste

I love how the happy, smiley-faced families pose for the glossy photos

Suzy and Johnny go to church with mommy and dad
Filling their lives with the promises they wanted to hear

Mommy wrapped in the family life
Dad is working 9:5 
Suzy in the kindergarten classroom
Johnny in the 10th grade high

Nobody wants to look at each other, they all pretend to read their minds
Nobody wants to act on reality, they all want to live through the lies

Ignored by everyone , Johnny is the only son
Mommy thinks he looks alone, more god in his life can turn him around

Glossy and glazed, lazy and hazed
The family is the perfect piece of shit

No more pain for Johnny now, he hates his life anyhow
Woke up dead with a shell in his head
Let's go pray at Johnny's bed
 The lies implanted in her head
Will keep the family straight ahead

At least that's how old mommy thinks
No cause for shame, no need for shrinks

Daddy just works at the office now
New secretary to ease his stress
He just needs to get away from useless life
The family way

So they stay together like that
Wondering why Johnny wasn't so glad
Another picture time this year
Pains of glass, frozen stare
