About the work
She was a muse in a second hand dream
While he was a snake with a Cheshire grin
"Our dreams will come true" - his hollow refrain
And his every touch ,just brought fear and pain
His words were daggers and his hands were chains
I was only six, I couldn't see the stains
I learned to read lips through the drywall noise
and cover my ears when he raised his voice
Mama hid her bruise well
so I wouldn't know the taste of hell
She always winced when she hugged me too tight
And hid her tears when she told me good night
"you're imagining thigs" - was his favorite line
just slipped on the floor - don't worry she's fine"
It smelled like love
Oh, It smelled like love
but tasted like fear
A slow drip poison,
year after year
Year after year
He wanted her smarts, she wanted a child
Now I have to scrape this hate from my mind

Title It Smelled Like Love (but tasted like Fear)
She was a muse in a second hand dream
While he was a snake with a Cheshire grin
"Our dreams will come true" - his hollow refrain
And his every touch ,just brought fear and pain
His words were daggers and his hands were chains
I was only six, I couldn't see the stains
I learned to read lips through the drywall noise
and cover my ears when he raised his voice
Mama hid her bruise well
so I wouldn't know the taste of hell
She always winced when she hugged me too tight
And hid her tears when she told me good night
"you're imagining thigs" - was his favorite line
just slipped on the floor - don't worry she's fine"
It smelled like love
Oh, It smelled like love
but tasted like fear
A slow drip poison,
year after year
Year after year
He wanted her smarts, she wanted a child
Now I have to scrape this hate from my mind
