The Unraveling
When he plays the victim, silence can break
How did you stay silent for so long?
a proverbial sitting duck
Until he unleashed his victimized song
full of lies, years of lies where you were left stuck
You want to silence the world with everything you have to say
how you suffered for years on end, without a clue day to day
But his words were quicker, he left you out to dry
fallen, shrunken, images gone awry
Images you can’t even remember
yet now the world has their own version of you
Still you’re silent, letting him speak
he’s only telling half truths
You want to silence him,
instead you tell him,
Be the weak one, play the victim
it will unravel faster than you can comprehend
soon life as you know it, will come to an end
