Trapped Songtext
von Imperfect Trust

What do I have to do to be heard?
What do I have to do to be seen?
What do I have to say to make sense
Or seem like a dignified human being?

How do I tell my children?
Am I still pure enough for God?
If I say I′m not a victim
Is that a choice, or just denial?

I'm not supposed to be one of THOSE women
Humbled by a tragedy, oh
Wrap me up in skin and bones
Within the dark when I′m alone
Minimized, manipulated...
Denial exacerbated by
The subtle wish of the child inside
Desire for a normal way of life


Trapped here by the choices I've made
Mired in my diminishing pride
How could I let it happen this way?
I'm just as stupid as they say
If I accept his kindness
Does it erase my right to feel violated?
If there was never violence
What do I use as evidence?

I′m not supposed to be THAT kind of woman...
Humbled by a tragedy
I would rely on suicide
But inside I′ve already died
And I'm enslaved by the rape of my ego
What if they were right the whole time
And the message was distorted by
Self-appointed martyrs′ cries?

There's nothing left for me to believe in
The other girls are beckoning, but
I can′t justify this fury
When every single soul in society
Is measured by how well they can place in
The boxes we created for race and
Religion, gender, community
And every self-important underground scene


I'm not supposed to be one of THOSE women
Humbled by a tragedy, oh
Wrap me up in skin and bones
Within the dark when I′m alone
I've always wanted a guardian angel...
And now I've been saved by a beautiful mind
Who′s not pretend this time
There′s someone else in real life

There's someone else in real life
