It's My Life Story lyrics

Tell me a story
I'm trying to write mine but I'm
Missing so many characters
And the settings uncertain this time

It began in a house
Deemed too unfit to hold a soul
Five people
lived there, and soon a six was added on

There was no love,
It lacked comfort
The only joy was found in
The back section, of a closet
Where written on the walls it said

Escape here; it's your only chance
They can't punish you for your thoughts
They may keep you, beat and bruised
But they can't make you give up

That spark in your eyes,
They will hate
They will try to force it away
Smirks they will not want to stay
Smacks and violence
Every day

She grew up, listening
To fight after fight be told
In the main room
Was a gun
And night after night she laid in bed.
Please don't snap, it's one am
That's when mom told me murders would begin

There was no love,
It lacked comfort
The only joy was found in
The back section, of a closet
Where written on the walls it said

Escape here; it's your only chance
They can't punish you for your thoughts
They may keep you, beat and bruised
But they can't make you give up

He was different, wouldn't listen
But he couldn't ignore the words they said
"no one wants you"
"waste of space"
"why aren't you dead"

"Get out of the car, get out of my house!
You don't belong here!
I'm sick of your mouth!
Stop that smile, knock off the crap!"
And those hands they found their spot on my neck

There was no love,
It lacked comfort
The only joy was found in
The back section, of a closet
Where written on the walls it said

Escape here; it's your only chance
They can't punish you for your thoughts
They may keep you, beat and bruised
But they can't make you give up

That spark in your eyes,
They will hate
They will try to force it away
Smirks they will not want to stay
Smacks and violence
Every day

It's been years
The nightmares
Are ones that she cannot push away
He reminds her that it's nothing
She'll never again be treated that way

A lifetime of torture
A body too beaten and bruised
Clinging to the only life source
She can't afford to lose

There was no love,
It lacked comfort
The only joy was found in
The back section, of a closet
Where written on the walls it said

That spark in your eyes,
They will hate
They will try to force it away
Smirks they will not want to stay
Smacks and violence
Every day

There was no love,
It lacked comfort
The only joy was found in
The back section, of a closet
Where written on the walls it said

Escape here; it's your only chance
They can't punish you for your thoughts
They may keep you, beat and bruised
But they can't make you give up
