lyrics

Groomed


You were born into this world, without a care
Only needed loving, a feeling that all Humans should share
A Mother's love, a Father's bond
Should come so natural, but that's just not the case for everyone
A predator's noticed, takes a like to you
His evil mind torments, with what he wants to put you through

Watch from a distance, as you grow.
And your need for love and care begins to show
At first befriend you, Instils trust
Then the gifts and cash turn dark and torturous

The gentle touches, that he starts to pay
Makes you feel so special, you're so ashamed to say
His sickening demands, then begin to grow
Its becoming your secret, a stick with which to beat you
As things become, far more intense
Such force and power; the hurt and pain gets so immense

You think that no one believes you
And he knows that, all too well
Wrapped up in a deadly cycle
Physical and emotional hell

Your isolated, with emotions off
Withdrawn, and jaded, carrying to much guilt for anyone
Yet you still return, to let him torture you, you're taught you're shit
And told there's nothing you can do
Cos it must be your fault, what he done to you?
That you did something, you must have encouraged him too?

That's what you've been led to believe
No protection - on your own
Helpless in a fucked up doom
By an evil predator, you were groomed
