Feeling persecuted, my Achilles heel breaks open And I'm flooded with emotion I feel as if I've been sliced open And healing this will take more than potion
When I was a child, at the hands of my mother She took the swipes that lead to this feeling She was the first to persecute To make the pain lasting To dig deeper and deeper, jamming like a brute As I squirmed and begged for mercy Said I was sorry a million times for nothing
And today when it feels the same Back comes all that pain A wellspring My blood drains out And I'm in a pool of emotion and can't get out
