I cover my eyes
Before the blow reaches its mark
So I can't see her flesh wobble
Vibrate and see the blood pour out

I turn the music up louder
So I can't hear him shout
But they can hear it
From out of space

She adds fuel to the fire
And can't take the heat of the flame
Later sits in guilt
And both relish in the blame game

Don't let the doubt seep in
It wasn't your fault
You were provoked
It will sort itself out

He showers me with gifts
Monetary bribes
She envelops me in love
And that's why I hide

Cuss on a Monday
And pray on a Friday
I'm not even on the dance floor
But you drag me in everyday

I'd leave without looking back
But now I feel like
I owe you
I owe them to stay

Because you got us
Messed up smoking
One's drinking
And one's taking pills

Today I'm only a kid
But tomorrow I'll convince you
When I made it better
I'm on my way up

I'll never let you see me frown
I got dreams
I see them even when I don't sleep
One day this will be a distant memory
