Rated: 13+ · Lyrics · Emotional · #1183775
A girl being abused and what goes on in her life and mind.
Scream at me
Let your anger surge free! (2x)

Crawling into my room
The bruises showing right through
The scars that I keep hidden
Your anger is now my burden.

Screaming at me constantly
You never speak to me calmly
But now mother knows what’s going on
Yet she can’t help but to play along...

Mother cries herself to sleep
Brother cutting it too deep
And I try to keep things straight
But you always must debate

Chorus:
And why? What did I do this time?
Should I just leave? Will you forgive?
Do you hear what I have said?
“It’s your choice of how you speak
Because you are my father,
But everyone sees all the marks you leave!”
This is my last song
“Did you forget that I am...your daughter?”

Holding my teddy bear
As I lay there, unaware.
To the sounds of the beating
And my mothers screaming, pleading.

Smacking her onto the floor
I close my eyes, wish her no more
I hear my brother start to cry
As my mothers scream starts to die.

Shivering I think of happy things
Green grass and trees where all birds sing
A happy place where I belong,
A place where I can do no wrong...

But then I awake to your demonic face
What happened to my peaceful place?
Why must you wake me and begin the attack
And why can’t I blend into the compelling black?

Chorus

Running to the front door
My blood falling to the floor
You are guilty-your hands are red
Will you not stop till I am dead?

Mother rocking in the corner
Neighbors know not to confront her
She too hides bruises, and she tells lies
And always has so many black eyes.

I run out the door, the pavements wet
I collapse on the neighbor’s front doorstep
The neighbors finally call the police
As my body is now released...

Chorus
