You hit me with everything and I fall
I scream at you from the floor this is war.
You spew words I've never heard from you before
A testimony to your violent gore.

I stand and brace up for your next blows
Insults to you but they continuously flow.
You catch me as I race for the door
I fall again and I know this is war

With each passing moment I bruise and I bleed
I look for safety; curl up and clutch my knees,
But all the pain and the hurt dont go away
Every breath you breathe ensures they'll stay

Familiarity oozes from my lip tasting like hate
But you couldnt know; you care after it's too late.
That sober 'I love you' is one of your lies
The alcohol beats me despite my cries

But you haven't lost me yet, I'm waiting for justice
If it comes that final day, I'll welcome deaths kiss

I dont know whats in store but let me remind you: this is war
