Power and Control

you are controlling what i do you are controlling whom i see to justify your actions you try to use jealousy your'e making me feel guilty pretend i am to blame you look at me with gestures and you know that i'm afraid i am facing a huge decline in the way that i live the children and i suffer as i have lack of things to give i have no access to money as you hide it all away then you'll go out binging and then disappear for days you grew up in a violent home abused as a young child to you this is normal but none of it's worthwhile you may well of thought that acting tough was right we don't want to get hurt and we're not looking for a fight why must you have your orders obeyed you have many highs and lows one moment your'e so loving then in a blink your anger shows your ideas they are traditional about what a real man should be this surely isn't right we're a family you see we are imprisoned without trial a hopeless dream of escape i go on with false smiles my happiness i fake there are secrets that i keep a silence i maintain this is all i seem to know it's how i ease my pain
