My heart beats and my skin glistens br Can't catch my breath and I'm lost in terror br I feel it over and over br Still I can't see all these memories br I can't bring to light the darkest parts of me br So I return the the corner I once called home, br Alone br I remember the anger, I remember the blame br I remember burning hands in maliscious claim br To be betrayed by trust br To be tainted by blood br I cannot explain the weight of it br He came in the days br and sometimes at night I'd escape br I knew what was coming everytime br The bruises were easy enough to hide br As were the tears I refused to cry br Thought I'd lose them through the years br Now my one solace is corrupted by fear br His perversion so near ' br Mixed with memory and future dread br I seep into withdraw again br Still what happens when I can't wake br from these transgressions br The ones I protect with my silence br are the ones who invite him in br There is no escape br No safe place br I swallow the pain with necessary rage br to fight bleeding and broken br from tolerances cagebr br Kira Bloombr br
