Domestic Mask

I see a rose wilting by the darkness of an abusive husband/ And I feel guilty just standing by and not doing something/ I’m proving nothing with my inactivity and hollow words/ Truth is hard to swallow but I’m sure you’ve swallowed worse/ Like your pride and dignity. God knows you’re crying gets to me/ Driving into me your pain caused by that violent entity/ Who claims he loves you. Who am I ? A friend of both/ Whose seen your minor arguments over nothing end in chokes/ And bruises. Ambulances, hospitals and police cruisers/ And an unsympathetic criminal system that believes the words of! losers/ I’ve grown fond of you. See girl, I was there from the start/ When he told me how a maiden so fair had won his heart/ Young and smart. I first doubted his heated exclamations/ And then I met you and, girl, you exceeded expectations/                 Skin glistening. Blown my mind when I met you/ Like the Lord above worked overtime to perfect you/ KINDA seen it coming but he seemed so ing lovin/ Charmed both you and others with his lies knew he was up 2 somethin/ Knew he was in bluffing but I thought that you could change him/ But it didn't do nothing but  create the in prison that you’re caged in/ (HOOK) Why do you stay?/ Knowing that your man’s a psycho case/ You can die today. What a hellish price to pay/ Just take my hand girl and I’ll help you fly away/ The future looks bleak but I promise you there’s a brighter day/ Why’d you stay when he stopped talking and started hitting first?/ Did you think he would change before it started getting worse?/ Didn’t it hurt? Calling you names when the beating ends/ Locking you in and forbidding you from meeting friends/ Lying to cops with self inflicted wounds claiming you hit him/ Why’d you stay? I guess I’m like everyone. Blaming the victim/ And not seeing your side. There’s no excuse for beating your bride/ Even when you wear sunglasses, I see defeat in your eyes/ Visual evidence on your body forces the need for disguise/ And constant grimacing. Girl, you’re probably bleeding inside/ You need to decide if you want help.. I’ll be there for you/ Allow me to relieve this burden of guilt and let me care for you/ I’ll cherish you despite me and your man’s friendship/ I love you both but I can’t stand by. It’s time to end this/ He’s relentless. Constant torment put you in boundless despair/ Questioning your fidelity despite his countless affairs/ I’ve seen him with other women but all the secrets were kept/ Should have told you sooner. That’s why I’m deep in regret/ Need to forget this coarse reality devised by his warped mentality/ Get away cause the only ending to this is of course: fatality/ (Hook) Why do you stay?/ Knowing that your man’s a psycho case/ You can die today. What a hellish price to pay/ Just take my hand girl and I’ll help you fly away/ The future looks bleak but I promise you there’s a brighter day/ I wrote this because I see some inner fire coming out/ And I figured I should help you leave cause time is running out/ He runs his mouth how he’s the king and how he breaks you/ And how much he dislikes making love. So now he rapes you/ Takes you like your ’s a product on the storage shelf/ Once vibrant, you’re just a empty shell of your former self/ But I see a diamond. A jewel shining in a block of obsidian/ The last vestiges of your humanity locked in oblivion/ I harbor thoughts of killing him but I’m above that/ My sole goal is to reclaim your soul so you can shove back/ First love taps than full blows. I knew his violent tendencies/ Should have protected you but I just let my silence hinder me/ I love you but don’t love me back. It’ll make the game worsen/ The reason I know your man so well’s cause we’re the same person/ I’m not the one for you. Hope you see me with better focus/ Leave now cause when I reach home I’ll swear I never wrote this/ I’m hopeless. , I bet you’re probably not reading this/ You cheating . I bet you’re probably out meeting tricks/ Should be almost home now. And when I reach, I’m a drop you/ I wanted you to read this just to buy me some time to stop you…. (Hook) Why do you stay?/ Knowing I’m a ing a psycho case/ You will die today. Always knew the price you’d pay/ I’ve clipped your wings so you will never fly away/ I’m sending your ass to hell where there’s never a brighter day….
