Eva Marie Shannon - Survival Lyrics

I didn't ask for this brutal assault
I screamed for my life
But they wouldn't halt
They told me why
I was bad, and no good
While with weapons of abuse
They stood
Over my body
Weaknesses they found
That's why they
Peruse to
Better enable them
To brutally abuse
I don't want to harm anyone
Especially not me, but
If I'm entrapped by something
I'll cut off part of me to
Get free
See it's all a game of survival
To make it through the crap
The promises that are not kept
I lose hope
It's a wicked trap
How do I hide
From the confusion
Creating all mental delusions
Leaving me lost and aching
From the terrible intrusions
The noise and the pounding
The pressure in my brain
My nose and my eyes
Need desperately to drain
'Cause the emotional tension
Is insisting it needs out
To dissipate the strain
Of what this whole issue is about
