Victim

It appears to me
That I won’t heal
While you’re still out searching
For a soul to steal

Your tender touch
I can’t feel
I’m starting to wonder
Were we ever real?
And by the throat you take me
And you’re in my lungs, I’m dying

I’ve followed you through
The bruises and pain
You cut me down
I’ve been beaten and slaved
Well I’m just a pawn

In your belligerent game
I’m starting wonder
When will the beast be tamed
My pride is shattered
I’m submissive and weak
I’m dying

And all I need
Is a way to breathe
And I won’t fall victim to love

Around my neck
Chocked by a noose
The hope and its fibers
Are made of you
I punish myself

Knuckles black and blue
And the jaws of the lion
I’ve been bitten and chewed
I’m broken and bleeding
I can’t stitch this wound
I’m dying

And all I need
Is a way to breathe
And I won’t fall victim to love

And all I need
Is a way to breathe
And I won’t fall victim to love
