Silence of the Lambs
How do we live with this pain everyday?
It’s deep in our souls, and it won’t go away
Put on another mask; pretend it’s not there
We suffer alone, as nobody really cares
Telling our stories, they close their ears
Sexual abuse of a child, they don’t want to hear
How do we cope, day after day
When the tears and pain get in the way
Hanging on by a single thread
Thoughts of self-harm, suicide raging through our heads
Why bother, why carry on?
Knowing these thoughts are very wrong
Our abusers protected by those at the top
I wish I could shoot the fucking lot
No sympathy for our innocence stolen
No cure for our anger growing
Raped at the age of six
That’s how my abuser got his kicks
A slap on the wrist, that’s what they get
Leaving us crippled inside our heads
It’s deep in our souls, and it won’t go away
Put on another mask; pretend it’s not there
We suffer alone, as nobody really cares
Telling our stories, they close their ears
Sexual abuse of a child, they don’t want to hear
How do we cope, day after day
When the tears and pain get in the way
Hanging on by a single thread
Thoughts of self-harm, suicide raging through our heads
Why bother, why carry on?
Knowing these thoughts are very wrong
Our abusers protected by those at the top
I wish I could shoot the fucking lot
No sympathy for our innocence stolen
No cure for our anger growing
Raped at the age of six
That’s how my abuser got his kicks
A slap on the wrist, that’s what they get
Leaving us crippled inside our heads

| Vreselijk dat wat er als jong meisje en vele jongens natuurlijk net zo.. je kan overkomen..ons overkwam zelfs... en die mensen die dit doen hebben geen enkel gevoel dan alleen voor henzelf, bah... maar mooi geschreven duidelijkheid | |
