I'm falling down, ever so gently
I'm listlessly thrashing in a sea of fright
I feel his fingers, again apon me
I sense his anger, can I survive tonight?
At night I feel I'm running, toward a place I've never seen
He's chasing after me, God I'm so scared!
Save me, see me, feel me, just rescue me,
Rescue me, from this nightly torture I cannot bear
I was a little girl once, with innocent bright eyes
His hands apon me, sending a chill down my spine,
Whenever I'm near him I know something inside me dies
His eyes molesting me, hands undressing me, my body is not mine
It's been ten years since it last happened, but still I cower in fear
Alone in my darkness with the world locked out of my heart,
He's trapped me in my silence, hushed away my tears
He doesn't come around much, but his name still gives me a start.
I've heard he's returning again, in my room I cower
I don't think I can survive if he tries to steal my might,
I want nothing more than to be whisked away this hour,
The only thing I know for sure is I'll put up a fight.
As he lies across the hall, I sense impending death,
He lies there in his peaceful sleep, I creep into his room
I look around in terror, my heart pounding in my chest,
I take the blade and slit my wrists, a fitting final tomb.
