Tom wrote this song after something kind of traumatizing happened to us and some of our friends who had really abusive boyfriends. It's pretty self explanatory. But uh, if you beat your girlfriend you should leave this website and never come back.

lyrics:
There’s no way to rise above it. There’s no haven abound. There’s no way that you can live your life without him around.
You go out with your friends for the night. He calls you just because you're out of sight. Does he truly love you or does he want to fight? Who thought that being in love would set off dynamite?
Does he truly feel for you? When he has the time of his life. You tremble alone in strife. When he has the time of his life. You tremble alone in strife. He’s your man, your cop, your watchdog, your god. He makes your life a living hell for the things he hasn’t got. Fuck him.
What’s wrong with you? He suddenly saw the truth.
What’s meant by the truth? He doesn’t want me to see you. So you can’t have a social life? Either that or deal with his knife. He’s parked right outside. Everybody run and hide.
You’ve done nothing wrong but you’re afraid that he’ll find out. You hate him, you’re innocent, you hate it when he shouts. Your neighborhood is filled with haunting sounds all because you let him beat you down to the ground. You tried to justify him and you tried to pretend that he really loved you but the threats wouldn’t end. He’ll never care for you, to him you’re just a whore all because you let him beat you down to the floor.
That look in your eyes it’s the look of control and under his fists he knows that you will fold. Under his dictatorship he has taken your virginity, your individuality and created hostility. You with a heart of gold. Doing nothing wrong, always doing what you’re told. You say that he’s your lover but the threats won’t end. You say that he’s your lover but he’s not your fucking friend.
