You dragged me from my home
Kicking and screaming you dragged me
Pulled me into your world
You ignored my silent scream
I was safe there
In my home where I was happy
In my lie where I could close my eyes
You ignored my silent scream
I could pretend it was all a dream
I could pretend that I was hallucinating
I could hide away from reality
You ignored my silent scream
There I understood the abuse
I could take a blow from him without tears welling in my eyes
You have never hit me
You ignored my silent scream
Here no-one hits me
They watch me and gossip about me
They ignore me
You ignored my silent scream
I don't want to live here like this
With Macavity I was free
In a way you won't know
You ignored my silent scream
I was free to dance when I chose
I was free to do what I wanted when I chose
I was free to be loved
You ignored my silent scream
You took me from my home
You took me from my love
You took me from everything I'd ever known
You ignored my silent scream
I wanted to stay with my only love
And now you glare at me when I dance
You glare at me when I choose who to dance with
You ignored my silent scream
You told me it wasn't safe to stay
And you ripped me away
To a place where they mock me
You ignored my silent scream
I cannot return now
He believes I betrayed him
So now I walk in strange twilight
You ignored my silent scream
You brought me here
Expecting me to be grateful
Instead I dance in the centre
You ignored my silent scream
I understood Macavity
I'll never understand you
Why are you so righteous?
You ignored my silent scream
You subject me to their disapproving stares
You subject me to their humiliating gossip
You subject me to their careful watch
You ignored my silent scream
