She's brave
She's strong
She's the woman she is today because of
The lessons her mother taught her
She speaks her mind and
Never backs down and in that way
I am not my mother's daughter

You see her tears behind
The mask she wears
You take pride in
Taking what happiness she has left
Your core is so empty
No soul for you
To have any feeling
You attack her with words
That suffocate her self esteem
You hear the 2 am breakdowns
For ***** sake, she's only thirteen
You see the scars
The ones she thinks she
Covers up with fake smiles
What will be your plea
When you're ultimately put on trial
Your malevolent ways will come to an end
And when this is all over
Not even the devil himself
Will be there as a friend

She's ready to leave and run away
She's had more than
Any 12 year old can take
So she decides to leave this life of abuse
She's tried before, but he always found her
So what was the use
But now it's gone too far
The bruises are too bad
And mommy won't believe her
So she plans her escape
Without looking back
She opens the window
Looking forward to freedom
The howl of the wind
Gives her the courage she needed
With her bag on her back
And her head held high
She ran as fast as she could
Without a regret in sight
She escaped her abuser
No more beatings to withstand
And mommy's husband
Never laid a hand on her again

She's ready to leave and run away
She's had more than
Any 12 year old can take
So she decides to leave this life of abuse
She's tried before, but he always found her
So what was the use
But now it's gone too far
The bruises are too bad
And mommy won't believe her
So she plans her escape with looking back
She opens the window
Looks foward to freedom
When suddenly
Something pulls her back
With the rage of a demon
She kicks and screams
But she's just no match
His lust and his need
Make for too strong of an attack
Finally she lets go
Realizing it's too much of a burden to carry
And mommy walks in to witness the
Entity she married

I sit alone in my room as
My body gradually grows numb
I feel every sensation start to fade away
I take note of the little things around me
Because I feel like it's all about to end
There's just no use
There's just no hope
No matter how many stupid pills I take
It will never be enough
I can make all the
Doctor appointments in the world
You can give me all the medication
You think will make me healthy
But the truth is I'll always be anemic
And that will always be a part of me
So I'll close my eyes
And feel my soul drift away
I've run out of fight
And battling this is just a waste

When he raises his voice
He calls on all demons
When he stomps his feet
The fires of hell surround him
His dreadful silence
Is when I'm afraid of him the most
His stinging touch burns my soul
And turns it to smoke
He blames it on a "disorder"
I say he's satan in disguise
Plotting his next scheme
Seducing us with lies
You've got everyone
Under you spell for now but
Don't get too comfortable
On your throne of deceit
Because when you finally meet your maker
They'll all know the truth and
Cheer at your defeat
