As I lay silently,my heartbeat in my ear
The thunder of footsteps ringing in fear
The night is long and the anger strong
I wonder, is this where I belong?

I only want silence so I cover my ears
I rock back and forth and pray he disappears
He pulls out his belt, beats through her screams
Susie will hear you and wake up from her dreams

She cries out to protect me
Not knowing I’m right there
Under the blanket I whimper and stare
The belt hit me too , I’m there

They are wrapped up in violence
They are too blind to see
Their child is hurting and wanting to flee
