Waiting to Be Hurt

C'mon hit me again

Go on and do it again

'Bout time anyway, it's been so long since I've taken a beating

Hurry up there are so many other things I could be doing

Go ahead and hit my face

You know you've wanted to since I was born, you're filled up with hate

My arms are stretched wide, this is becoming routine

C'mon I want the bruises you leave to be seen

Why are you taking so long, is this build-up really so necessary?

I'm familiar with pain, this isn't so painful, actually

Stare at me with violence in your eyes

Just leave me here on the floor, you know that I never cry

I know the rhythm by now, you hit me once, then twice

And then a kick to my ribs, this is your favorite vice

I'm watching the clock, I could be reading a book

But instead you're beating me bloody, my happiness is what you took

Ugh I'm waiting please just hit me already

This is different, you're lowering your fists

A confused look, you let go of my wrist

Then you hug me and tell me you're sorry

Sorry, it's not that simple

Just leave me alone, Dad

You're not sorry

You'll just beat me again tomorrow
