Escape

Don't judge me until you've walked a mile in my shoes Because these things don't just happen on the news Going hungry and getting hit Soul wearing down bit by bit Angry hands raining down I take it all without a sound He beats me senseless Doesn't even care that I'm defenseless He lets men have me for a price Tells me to smile and act nice Be a dutiful daughter Never let your emotions falter I finally escape Try not to think about the rape I search all around But God's nowhere to be found I look forward to death The moment I draw my final breath I don't care about everlasting peace I just want that final release
