Let me scream Let me run Let me fall now from grace Punching the walls until my knuckles bleed Feeling you steal the very breath from me And I stand here alone Trying to dig you out of my heart I never realized You bound me so Softly stealing the light in my eyes Seeping into my skin like acid rain I believed in your lies But I tried to survive And all the glass houses I built Believing to be friendships Are shattering around me Because I believed your lies I believed theirs I believed Someone was coming to save me I gave until I was empty Until I finally noticed You hollowed out my heart Enslaved me to these lies That I could never matter Violation The nightmares of abuse linger still Just when I thought I could rise above them I find another disaster in my heart That can all lead back to you You convinced me It doesn't matter Three words I built my world around And I hate you for it So I cry out to God Humiliated and broken again Desperate For a Savior Free me from the lies Save me from my past Amen
