i still hold my breath when i hear you late at night
you're locked behind closed doors and you think no one can hear you, but i hear you
howling like a wolf in search for something in the night,
roaring with anger like a lion
i'd like to say that I'm not afraid of you anymore but I can't help but feel like a small child in the dark when you curse
maybe this is why I try so hard to please people like you
I'll swing a right hook at a woman before I'll do so much as raise my voice at a man and *what the **** does that say about me?*
take a shot if you were conditioned to keep men tame
pop a pill if you were raised to stay silent when your daddy yells
light one up if the lines have blurred between love and fear
i haven't been sober in years
