Alisha M. Forrester Scott - Releasing the Hound (My Assailant) lyrics

Lyrics to "Releasing The Hound" by Alisha M. Forrester Scott At times, at times I lament the night You took my life And changed it At once, then twice I paid the price For simply Being nearby My heart denied I died inside And for months Dark days were mine In lieu of sharing pain I steeped in my self-shame Not knowing that My shame would make me die Not bent But broken Beyond awoken My mind reset itself Alone I died So mad I cried I feared myself The most No waves, no sun My pride undone Then I had One saving thought Release the weight Forsake self-hate And Love will set you free With no place to hide Once more I tried I heard my spirit call With freedom in view New hope ensued And I honored My Own Life Now that was then I'm me, again Thank You for helping Me to grow
