They Punish Me When I Stand Up For Myself
the problem to my life
is that i live a lonely life
i speak to no one
im all alone
all my problems are big and grown
cant trust anyone
they all have betrayed
i have never asked for help
for i thought i didn't deserve
for the treatment that i get
is one i wont forget
to breath the air in peace
and to be able to get to sleep
is what i dream to do
even when i feel so blue
time is not a friend
as i find it hard to pretend
that my life is good and great
being alive is a big mistake
thought everything would be alright
got so bad
held myself tight
crying on the bed
with my head in my hands
listening to them screaming out demands
i scream at there feet
"leave me alone
"let me do my thing
"i do everything you want
" just let me do one thing
" let me please rest
" its truly for the best
" i need to rest my head
" feeling drained
"feeling dead.
get up off the floor
and do what we ask you now
you selfish little cow
we ask you to help out
and now you scream and shout
its not like you to say
leave me alone....
i have to say you surprised me good
but im not one to do you good
do as i say now or you will get hurt
dont live by my rules
sleep in the dirt
