It's All Because Of You!

torture,pain,separation,haunting,family,broken

You tie me up and you torture me
but the torture is not really physical you see
the real pain is knowing that you never knew me
and the person I really am

You weave your ropes around my naked frame
and I thank God for a moment you are mine to claim
for a fleeting time attention eases my pain
however wicked that attention might be

It's been years now since I have felt your sting
yet it's a pain that never leaves it's a haunting thing
cause a butterfly dies when you bruise it's wing
years and distance just don't heal the pain

Do you understand all the death I lived
Trying hard to be me, trying hard to forgive
Just to make a normal life for our innocent kids
Slavery is an horrible thing

Now they live with you,
how could that be true
and It'll break their hearts if I sue
they have been through too much
our kids

So alone I stay in my constant pain
The rainbows are gone all I see now is rain
How I wish I could ride away on death's one-way train
To a peace that I never knew

...and it's all because of you!
