Defeated

Break free
No, hold me back
and watch this heart
for signs of an attack
or maybe the hope
of taking the knife out of my back

Slow, shallow breathing
against my will this mind is keeping
me locked away and bleeding
on the floors of my jail cell
two palm prints, stained red right where I fell

Held fast for the ground to save me
It threw me back to the world
and let them rape me
Head thrown back, I face the sky
Asking God, asking why
the ones who said they'd always be there for me
are the same ones that just walked by

No tears, I'm through crying
for the world that cared
Sooner feed you to the sharks
and sit back to stare

Not the superficial concern
I mean the real kind
the one's who see you're dirty
and think you still shine

Confessing like I'm a Catholic
but it's okay, I can let you have it
Get it off my chest, please don't panic
Too much hurt and it's been wreaking havoc

Out of mind
Get out of my sight
Arms outstretched to embrace the light
I have no will left inside me to fight
