Lyrics Under The Flood – Victim

Those gentle eyes
Curled up beneath the bed tonight
She wonders why she pays the price
Night after night

No, they’re comin’ through the walls again
To the rhythm of a war that never ends
I’ve taken all that I can stand
You’ve taken more than innocence
I’m dreaming of a world where you’re gone
Livin’ in a world I don’t belong
And after all that I’ve become
I’m no longer the victim

She tries to hide
The shame of all the sleepless nights
And it’s so hard to feel alive
When you feel so dead inside
Lives where innocence and denied
A life of happiness and I
Refuse to let you win again
We’re gonna leave it all behind

No, they’re comin’ through the walls again
To the rhythm of a war that never ends
I’ve taken all that I can stand
You’ve taken more than innocence
I’m dreaming of a world where you’re gone
Livin’ in a world I don’t belong
And after all that I’ve become
I’m no longer the victim

And when you fall
I’ll pray that all you ever know
Is empty and alone
So you can suffer on your own
And if I stumble
I’ll know the better lines are drawn
There’s a better life beyond
Where no more damage can be done
They’re comin’ through the walls again
They’re comin’ through the walls again
They’re comin’ through the walls again
They’re comin’ through the walls again
NO
They’re comin’ through the walls again
To the rhythm of a war that never ends
I’ve taken all that I can stand
You’ve taken more than innocence
I’m dreaming of a world where you’re gone
Livin’ in a world I don’t belong
And after all that I’ve become
I’m no longer the victim
And when you fall
I’ll pray that all you ever know
Is empty and alone
So you can suffer on your own
And if I stumble
I’ll know the better lines are drawn
There’s a better life beyond
I’m no longer the victim
