Habit of Force Lyrics

You made the bed now live a lie in it

Is all she ever hears

He lives in a well kept home

While she lives in fear

At first he worshipped her

Then he looked for a sacrifice

She makes breakfast

Scrambling for an idea

Of how to stop the beating tonight

His habit of force

Came as a cruel blow

His habit of force

Left her nowhere to turn

He's getting smashed

The silence swells

When the violence will hit

It's so hard to tell

When you don't see a future

Where do you go

Which way should she go

He's smashed and breaking furniture

How he looks at her is a crime

He says he paid for everything

She's living on borrowed time

His love leaves her tender

Bloody black and blue

Love can leave you blind

When it blindsides you

With her eyes still swollen shut

She starts to see the light

He beats her 'til she's conscious

That this time she has to fight
