You Won’t Win This Time

Thought the curtain was closing
But then the dark veil lifted
Turns out I’m not crazy
I just bred with someone twisted
11 years… over a decade of fears
Swimming around inside my damaged goods
That I call my family
All of the pain inflicted by you
And endured by those I love and cherish
Be happy your family is rich
Money can buy protection for your lies
Whilst I hold my babies and cry out
A river to wash away all their pain
And with everything I have left inside me
I scoop up my world of love and fly away
Broken and charred from that disaster I fought to escape
Sure…
I could suck the air up out of his world
I could CRUSH HIM LIKE A BUG!
But my mother’s ancestral trail lie at my bosom
I need to make them all proud
Use my mother wounds to be a mother
Exactly what I wanted to begin with
In the arms of my children by day
And the arms of our hero at night
With sweet nightmares of the inevitable you face
As soon as Karma catches up
You can run, you can hide,
But you can’t just hurt children and survive
Your reign is coming to an end
We will all be there front row
With bells
Cheering that bitch on
