This tattered body,
sewn and misused,
this body in shambles,
torn and broken.

You took me from my world,
shattering the exsistence I knew,
you redefined the term 'love',
you took me from my dreams.

You covered me in bruises,
filled me with lies.
You made me drip with hatred,
keeping me under watchful eyes.

Fifteen years pass,
and I finally feel free,
but now I know it's the truth,
you are always with me.

I can no longer shut my eyes,
I fear sleep;
you await behind my shut lids,
wait for me to be weak.

My body is shaking,
trembling in fear.
I can't take this pain,
just let me out of here!

I see the blood,
red vision is haunting,
tears no longer exsist,
pain is only a passion.

Ticking away in my head,
I wonder when it will stop.
Smack, crash, boom,
the sounds that make me scream.

I here the crash,
I feel the sting,
what's it like hitting me,
with that ominious ring?

Tell me something now,
did you feel powerful standing over me,
staring down at my tired body?

Tell me something now,
what does it feel like to stand over a carcus,
this deathly matured body?

Silence is golden,
when your life is perfect,
but tell me something daddy,
can you finally hear me screaming?
