The Echoes of Your Chaos
i can feel your tension building
i sit as quietly as i can
you scream and shout, push me about
is this what makes you feel like a man?
you control me with your power
i'm designed to be afraid
you accuse me of having an affair
and your the one that's been betrayed
you humiliate me in front of others
i look to the floor with shame
my opinion doesn't matter, you tower over
yes, i suppose i'm the one to blame
i submit to your authority
your abuse is getting worse
this torture is slowly killing me
is this all that i am worth?
my cuts and bruises have healed now
but the emotional pain still hurts
he says to me i cannot leave
and that he will kill me first
how can i get help and tell others?
when he has convinced me it's not all that bad
it will never happen again
there's no need to look so sad
yop tell your friends it's all my fault
it must be my imagination
you put me down,throw me around
restrain with intimidation
you control all my thoughts and feelings
it's natural to me now
you're begging for my forgiveness
i believe in you some how
