I've been told never to let the Devil in
My 'no' had fallen upon deaf ears and he'd invited sin
My cries were blanketed by fear
As I sat in the loudest silence you'd ever hear
His hand held tight upon my thigh
Nobody would look me in my eye
Bruised and battered I couldn't cry for help
His fingers crawled deeper and I'd accepted the card I was dealt
I wanted to say something to somebody
But I couldn't bare the idea of being blamed by everybody
Healing is on the front porch
But I'm too weak to unlock the front door
"I told you not to wear that dress."
"Now look you're a ******* mess"
I can't fall asleep at night
I hear my mothers lack of sympathy
And I can't help but think that she was right
