Domestic Violence Lyrics

Physically abused, a specimen of DV

The setting starts with a kid, not an adult in sight

When the spotlight comes on, the child's all but blinded

Not a saint in the room, point your fingers and -

The physicality, the pain that comes with abuse

Your trembling body with shame, nobody wants to hear

Not a victim, just a number, all the signs of neglect

You swear you'll never forgive them, until your last breath

When the flashbacks hit, you are right where you started

All the progress you've made, still you crave the pain

There is no one hell, like the one you were born in

When you awake, will you stay the same?

Can you stay the same?

There's a house in the backdrop, but nobody can see

What goes on behind locked doors, and closed curtains

Love is nothing but a tool, used against your own will

When they hit you, you don't question if their love was real

And the world will prove you right, again and again

You are special when you're worthless to society

You will feel insane, you will feel as if you've lost it

And when happiness finds you, you won't know what it cost

When the flashbacks hit, you are right where you started

All the progress you've made, still you crave the pain

There is no one hell, like the one you were born in

When you awake, will you stay the same?

Pain, it's all I've ever known, awake in this home

I feel the trembling begin to arise

The need to suppress, any cries for help

I stay in bed, just to hide away

When all is lost

I pray to a god, for the pain to end

But god never answered, he never picked up the phone

And I am alone now, shaking inside my bones

One day I will discover, that I've already found out

Another way out

Another way out

Another way out

Another way out

When the flashbacks hit, you are right where you started

All the progress you've made, still you crave the pain

There is no one hell, like the one you were born in

When you awake, will you stay the same?

Can you stay the same?
