One staggering breath
One sharp cry
One unheard protest
And now she wears dresses~
One inch longer,
One inch longer.
One dark sky
One muffled shout
One unforgivable mistake
And now she wears heels~
One inch shorter,
One inch shorter.
One brazen stranger
One empty street
One thousand sleepless nights
And now she's slipping away~
One inch further,
One inch further.
One fate she didn't deserve
One blame that wasn't hers
One night she'll never forget
All because his hands went~
One inch lower,
One inch lower.

If you blame the rape victim because her clothes were provocative, you must also blame the bank that was robbed because its content was provocative.
