Eyes closed, there is no escape. Might as well not look Or pretend you're asleep. A struggle. You lose. A cry emerges. "You **** There are more noises, violent Slapping you into silence You are not heard. Restraining you, they care For none of your words Slowly, but surely, you mimic a caged bird Maybe a squeak here or a scratch there But nothing more, you cannot be heard There's no way to raise the alarm, no way to escape Might as well not look Might as well give up. Might as well break.

You were not heard
Eyes closed, there is no escape. Might as well not look Or pretend you're asleep. A struggle. You lose. A cry emerges. "You **** There are more noises, violent Slapping you into silence You are not heard. Restraining you, they care For none of your words Slowly, but surely, you mimic a caged bird Maybe a squeak here or a scratch there But nothing more, you cannot be heard There's no way to raise the alarm, no way to escape Might as well not look Might as well give up. Might as well break.
