There's marks on my chin
A discoulorment around an eye
Id'e imagine
Not a one could ever ever tell
But deep down I knew they would
Sitting on a step
Just outside the place of my torment
I'm safe here
It’s a place he'll never ever go
That’s when I saw him
Walking by with alcohol and bread
To deliver
To the very man I most resent
I scream to myself
That he's just a child
And not like
Back then the one that I was myself
There's a danger in his eyes
But how can I judge
What good decisions have I made
I'm like liquid
How can I amass to anything
Just listen here child
Cant you hear I'm sorry for myself
Why must you help
I really should say its not that bad
Oh I wish this was the truth
You’ve come to know me
I've come to trust you
There is this thing
Needing to do
You see what he's done
I can see
You feel what I feel
I can feel
Don’t hesitate
For what
A necessity
For what
Drain his life away
Empty all his veins
I want to see
His limp body
Lets call this an act
How can I
Pretend it’s a game
It is death
I know you don’t
It is death
Like what he's caused
Another way
Now I am distraught
It is all my fault
I'll take my life
If you can't take his
I started to cry
That’s when I caved
Tears to carry all
I cant withstand
His doubts away
Her anguish and pain
Now he'll obey
I love her
Now when I look at her
All I see is him
Still hitting her
With that bloody wound I gave him
At least she is safe
At least my love won't cry
At least my conscious grows hazy
At least my drink tastes strong
A fire burns inside
A fire grows inside
A fire consumes my soul
And I blame her
And I hit her
