Your claws are out you rip and tear You beat me down till I'm not there You slash and stab without a thought You aim your words just like a shot You spew out hate assigning blame You live to threaten, blind, and maim. You wont let me grow you won't let me live Guilt and shame are all you give You chain me down till I can't breathe Knowing I'm too weak to leave You've stripped me bare, removed my soul Cut me open and swallowed me whole. You insult with lies until I'm deaf Steal my joy till I have none left I've tried to scream, I've tried to hide So many times I've wish I died Death would be better than this hell I allow If I wasn't a coward id be there right now.

Your claws are out you rip and tear You beat me down till I'm not there You slash and stab without a thought You aim your words just like a shot You spew out hate assigning blame You live to threaten, blind, and maim. You wont let me grow you won't let me live Guilt and shame are all you give You chain me down till I can't breathe Knowing I'm too weak to leave You've stripped me bare, removed my soul Cut me open and swallowed me whole. You insult with lies until I'm deaf Steal my joy till I have none left I've tried to scream, I've tried to hide So many times I've wish I died Death would be better than this hell I allow If I wasn't a coward id be there right now.
