Mask on, Now take it off slow

So the real you can finally show

Everyone around you how evil you truly are

and how sadistic demons lurk from afar

But also creep up on you in the middle of the night

to suffocate you while they hold you down in fright

like nightmares wake you from a deep sleep

they steel your happiness and make you feel weak

every part of them wonders through your head

stealing smiles while your awake and in bed.

what do they want from me you scream out loud

as fear makes goosebumps on your skin stand tall and proud

Ha, Ha, Ha they laugh in your face

as now your life is even more a disgrace

They have stolen your life and it’s not the same anymore

Told the world you’re nothing but a dirty little whore

Trapped you in a sex inspired game

All because now they have ruined your name

Make it out the gutter alive and well

After your body was for just for sale?

Fuck, your lucky if after all this you might have a normal life

Cause most men say you can’t turn a slut into a wife

Unfortunately a life sentence you will most likely wear

As if it really matters cause it’s not like many people care

That your childhood was taken from you while they had all the fun

Hold on tight sweetheart, the pain hurts but has only just begun.
