The Killer is Inside the (White) House


Ring, Ring, Ring

Danger on the line

ring, ring, ring

The media says its fine

 

The four walls of a home

 are not saviors anymore

The rising walls of the country

Are catalysts for war

 

No one is safe

No one is right

The house once white

Now black as night

 

For the killer is inside

The call comes from within

The creature craves to destroy

His patience wearing thin

 

The home now toxic

Infiltrated by a foe

The country’s bright spirit

Now indefinite woe
