No Escape

Lungs burning as I run down the street with all my might
Legs in fire as I pick up my pace trying not to the caught
Laughing comes from behind me as the devil stalks close by
Losing the fight as I cry out in frustration I can't take it anymore

Ducking in behind a ramshackle barn hoping he didn't see me
Dodging tree branches and vines as the thicket deepens
Don't look back at the sinister monster who controls your life
Drown out his nasty voice as he tries to torment you into submission

Free yourself from the chains of his dispair and agony
Forget your promises to the demon you once called baby
Fighting is all you do anymore it isn't love anymore so Run
Forced down to the ground he has caught up to you

Prepare for the pounding you are about to receive
Pray that he will show some mercy on your soul
Protect your face the best you can as he delivers blow after blow
Punch him back the with all your might you must put up a fight

Stop! Stop! Is all you can cry as he knocks the wind out of you
Stinging and throbbing your body says enough is enough
Stupid girl you shouldn't have tried to run
Saving yourself will never be an option you aren't strong enough

Gasping between sobs of pain you lay flat upon your back
Groaning as he pulls you to your feet and drags you by his side
Gagging as he wraps his hand around your throat like a vice
Gapping at him with pleading eyes hopefully he will see the desperation

Blackening vision as your body begins to sway
Blocking out the sounds of his cruel words
Beneath you your legs give way but he catches you
Because of him your back to being the human punching bag

Tranquil silence falls over your mind as you lay
Trampled once again by the boy you once loved so dear
Tendon torn and broken jaw how to explain this to uncle Rick
Thought you one more lie but not this time

It's time to tell it to him striaght
Its time to change my fate
