I've watched him beat you day after day I've heard you cry yourself to sleep night after night I've heard his false words he doesn't love. You defend yourself to no avail alcohol's too much He's really confused *** he is lost. I've seen it all babe, it's not over there's nothing I can do I am only plastic wrapped in silk only for you. I've seen the blood you let stain your wrists I've felt the chill in the air when he's around but I've been there too, it'll be okay. I'd stop it myself but I'm merely a doll propped up on a shelf.

The Doll on Your Shelf
I've watched him beat you day after day I've heard you cry yourself to sleep night after night I've heard his false words he doesn't love. You defend yourself to no avail alcohol's too much He's really confused *** he is lost. I've seen it all babe, it's not over there's nothing I can do I am only plastic wrapped in silk only for you. I've seen the blood you let stain your wrists I've felt the chill in the air when he's around but I've been there too, it'll be okay. I'd stop it myself but I'm merely a doll propped up on a shelf.
For a contest contest about a fly on the walls perspective. I know I changed it up a bit but this angle called to me more than the fly...
