To me that doesn’t make sense,
I didn’t do anything wrong,
But I will pay my whole life long.

I can hear his sickening laughter,
Even to this day a long, long time after,
I can still picture it like it was yesterday,
It never truly leaves me or goes away.

The thing is I didn’t scream of fight,
I didn’t dare utter a single word of plight,
He told me not to scream turned & the music up,
I thought he was about to smash my cup.

Set adrift on memory bliss playing in the background,
Other then that there was no real sound,
I tried to remove my mind from where I was,
Tried to make myself disappear into the fuzz.

When I wash I never feel totally clean,
Did he prey on me because my vulnerabilities were seen?
Or did I send him signals, was I asking for it?
Did I really deserve a life time of *****!

I have been given a life sentence,
To me that doesn’t make sense,
I didn’t do anything wrong,
But I will pay my whole life long.

I can hear his sickening laughter,
Even to this day a long, long time after,
I can still picture it like it was yesterday,
It never truly leaves me or goes away.

The thing is I didn’t scream of fight,
I didn’t dare utter a single word of plight,
He told me not to scream turned & the music up,
I thought he was about to smash my cup.

Set adrift on memory bliss playing in the background,
Other then that there was no real sound,
I tried to remove my mind from where I was,
Tried to make myself disappear into the fuzz.

When I wash I never feel totally clean,
Did he prey on me because my vulnerabilities were seen?
Or did I send him signals, was I asking for it?
Did I really deserve a life time of *****!
