I slipped into something that couldn't be escaped
I fell deeper and deeper
You covered my eyes
You had my mouth taped
It was the truth you ultimately feared
I tried to scream but all sounds were smeared
I was alive but I wasn't living
You always took and you were never giving
The air was warm
But your abuse always sent chills down my spine
I had to obey you
I had to stay in line
Tell everyone I was fine
Raise no flag
Ring no alarm
Or else you'd cause more devastating harm
You fly under the radar with your ever blinding charm
When out in public
They see your good-guy flows
But behind closed doors
You unleashed your crippling blows.
