Story behind the song
it's about domestic violence
Lyrics
These scars they remember everything
Though my mind won't allow me to
and it's my fault for angering,
words escape and provoke you
so I crawl and I crawl inside of me
I'll give it one more night
when time falls still finally
cuddle with me, tell me it's alright
I'm hiding in dark closets
the demons don't lurk within
another violent fit of anger
forgive me, lord, for I have sinned
he's waiting, watching, hardly breathing
lurking in the other room
I brought this fate upon myself,
I hope it will be over soon
look at me, I'm lying here, covered in sweat
can smell my fear,
I'm not a victim
Black and blue, they shade my eyes,
I've shut them tight, I won't realize
I'm not a victim
Nails scratch into their target,
hands block and protect my face
words fly, these screams of horror
fighting has put me in my place
the anger ceases, is it over?
tears streaming, I won't show
I have faith we'll be alright
I love him dearly, this I know
Forgive him this time, and again
I know he'll stop, he's reached his end
I'm not a victim
Watch my eyes, watch what I say
because I can't go another day
not as a victim
These scars, they remember everything
though my mind won't allow me to
and it's my fault for angering,
words escape and provoke you
so I crawl and I crawl inside of me,
I'll give it one more night
when time falls still finally
cuddle with me, tell me it's alright
Don't you remember everything?
No, you won't allow me to
and it's not my fault for angering,
deep inside, I know it's you
I can't crawl inside me anymore
it's gonna end, and end here tonight
why aren't we like we were before?...
Cuddle with me, tell me it's alright
