Tallman - Cope

Cope

hold me underneath the water
rinse me ti will Imclean
stretch my skin and scratch the surface
I promise I wont bleed
I never wanted to be born into this
every time I hear your voice it makes me sick
beaten by an open hand, I raise a fist
I got to find a way to cope with all of this
shut the door and lock me out
I will throw away your key
on my own out in the cold
there is no one left but me
I never wanted to be born into this
every time I hear your voice it makes me sick
beaten by an open hand, I raise a fist
I got to find a way to cope with all of this
I try not to cry
this is not just temporary
fear and denial remain
Imnow just twice as aware
of the abuse and the pain
this is not what I want to be
but you expected more from me
this is not what I want to be
I tried not to cry
I never wanted to be born into this
every time I hear your voice it makes me sick
beaten by an open hand, I raise a fist
I got to find a way to cope with all of this
