Take Me Away

Slip your hands to my throat;
Get a grip, hard and cold.
Press your skin right onto mines,
Let your anger release and subside.

Slip your hands into my dress;
Harassment never seems to stress.
Like those you've abused,
Like those you've abused...
We're all alike and dead inside.
Innocence taken, hearts ripped and fried.

Slip your hands into my life;
Snoop around my stuff and discover secrets I hide.
Leave your fingerprints everywhere you touch,
Mark the footsteps you take to launch.
Intrude the life which is not yours,
Intrude the life that is my own.
Invade my personality and spit critics in my face.
Invade my personality and give me blame.

Slip your hands into my rights;
Take everything I have out of sight.
Hide me from the world I cannot see.
Hide me from my own fantasies.
Throw me back into a shadowed pit.
Feed me lies that you'll let me be.
Everywhere I go to, I have you there.
Watching like a shadow with your cold, pale glare.
Take everything I have away,
And leave me to my empty display.

Slip your hands into my death;
Choke me strongly, I will not dread.
The fear is gone, better off if I have no breath.
Leave me with this empty hand I have no one to hold with.
Hurt me in any other way, it all pains.
Hurt me extravagantly to my dismay.
Let me fall to my doomed end.
Like you say, I am full of shame.

I promise you, you will no longer be able to hurt me if I am dead.
