Caitlin Evanson - Fight or Flight Lyrics

On the road after a quick break
There we were back at work
London fog and loading docks
Back when every show was a first
He came in for what I trusted
Was an office friendly hug
Both hands clutched down hard on my ass
With a paralyzing shove
"Oh I've missed these"
He whispered with his head
On my shoulder
I screamed and tried to push away
But He only pulled me closer ...
Everyone in the room stared
Stunned In disbelief
But no one said a word
No one did a thing
And Alone in that fight or flight battlefield
My mind shut down
Don't be emotional
Don't be a drama queen
Worst of all don't be the bitch
Is what the world kept telling me
After another couple weeks
Grabs jabs full exposure
Being pulled onto his lap
I prayed for help I prayed for closure
Every time in that mocking tone
Can't you take a joke
Why Can't we mess around
Was I crazy was I wrong
When had I begun to drown
Was the whole goddamn world
That terrified to rock the boat
Were my childhood hopes
And dream career
All wrapped around my throat
I stood still kept my mouth shut
Knowing all too well the ice was thin
Afraid if I came forward
I may never work in this town again
Don't be emotional
Don't be a drama queen
Worst of all don't be the bitch
Is what the world kept telling me
Ultimately
It was left up to me
"We'll fire him if you want us to"
Was the final decree
But alone in the fight or flight battlefield
All I could hear
Was the deafening silence
Pounding in my ear
Don't be emotional
Don't be the drama queen
Don't be a drag don't be the bitch
Is what the world kept telling me
I finally understand
How and why it comes so late
If someone else can hear this
Carries this unbearable weight
You're not alone on the battlefield
No you're not alone in the battlefield
No I will not be a victim
Vigilante or assassin
But I will no longer be silenced
And live as if it never happened
