Fellowship

My parents died in a fire
At least that's what we say
So no one asks about the cult
The house in disarray
A hastily written note
I'm a liar as a result

My uncle moved far away
Our cousins thought it best
Not to talk about his life
Members of the press
Were sniffing around the compound
No one ever found the knife

My grandparents hated crowds
Or groups of any kind
Harmless hermits on the plains
They locked themselves in the barn
When the wind got too loud
Just a Bible and some aspirin for the pain
