Between Struggle & Abuse

You come from and oppressive background that shuns the belief
That it's healthy to act on our primal instincts
They fear monger you to repress your natural tendencies
Are we really surprised that you turned out this way?

You're lost, confused, don't know how to act
Insecure and not mentally in tact
Though your actions can be explained
It doesn't absolve you from inflicting pain

So you've accepted that this is who you are
You masquerade yourself and you hide your scars
Boxed in, held down by your regression
That it comes out in clenched fists of anger and aggression

You think you're tough, think you're in the right?
And by all means you should win this fight
Standing there and taking the abuse
Trying to break free but it's no use

Tell me how you think you can be absolved
Tell me how you think you can be forgiven
Tell me how this was created
Tell me how you're proud now

Tell me

It's just another battle set up for you to lose
Another faceless victim caught between struggle & abuse

This is not up for compromise
So don't tell me that you're innocent
You're not the only life you've desecrated
Fuck you and your benefit

I need to hear it from the source I need to get an answer
But you won't dish out anything you can't serve

You tell me
You tell me
You tell me
You tell me because you have a choice

You tell me
You tell me
You tell me
You tell me because you have a voice

You tell me
You tell me because I will swallow a shotgun just to prove my point

I will hit you where it hurts
