You always treat me bad
I'm the whipping boy in your set
You make it plain for all to see
You don't even give a damn
'Bout my feelings or my pride
When you make a fool of me

I like to say I hate you
But it's not true
'Cause I feel safe in your shadow
Living my poor life through you

Enslaved by my own weakness
And my predisposition
For silence and submission
Condemned to creep in the darkness
I just can't face the real me
And my fear of being set free

You've become my punishment
My self-inflicted nemesis
The pain I endure every day
But like a natural born victim
Still waiting for more
I can't resolve to go away

I could have tried to leave you
But I never did
'Cause I need to feel your power
And I'd be lost without it

Enslaved by my own weakness
And my predisposition
For silence and submission
Condemned to creep in the darkness
I just can't face the real me
And my fear of being set free

Enslaved by my own weakness
And my predisposition
For silence and submission
Condemned to creep in the darkness
I just can't face the real me
And my fear of being set free
