Never felt like enough
I tried to comply with all that they want
I always laughed too loud
Spoke too quick
Too often
All opinions I had were theirs to begin with
Castrated by their image, pulling at my tongue
I grew afraid to speak
Mocked for my contrast, spit on because I tried to understand
And I could never understand
Manic
Panic
Aggressive
I can't help it
Fuck the way they made me feel
Face down on the floor again
Too drunk to stand again
Piss myself again
Scream with every breath left
I can't swallow the blood
So let it pour from my legs instead
Drain the pressure in my stomach
Take a couple pills
Do it all again
Will I ever understand?
I've been fighting to find my peace in all the rotten things
Cleanse my thoughts of the cage so that I can be free
Fighting tooth and nail
Chipped teeth
Nails in a coffin
Bloody my fists on the lid
Held down by the crushing weight of regret
Embarrassment
Financial strain
All the shame
It's 'gotta mean something
Once, we were harmless
Swallowing dirt, this is me telling you I no longer give a fuck
Dragged into my name's anxiety, mar all the attempts to organize my rib cage
Now broken fragments embed into my lungs
To rearrange would halt my breath
I'm sick? I'm sick?
Fuck this
I was young Never felt like enough I tried to comply with all that they want I always laughed too loud Spoke too quick Too often All opinions I had were theirs to begin with Castrated by their image, pulling at my tongue I grew afraid to speak Mocked for my contrast, spit on because I tried to understand And I could never understand Manic Panic Aggressive I can't help it Fuck the way they made me feel Face down on the floor again Too drunk to stand again Piss myself again Scream with every breath left I can't swallow the blood So let it pour from my legs instead Drain the pressure in my stomach Take a couple pills Do it all again Will I ever understand? I've been fighting to find my peace in all the rotten things Cleanse my thoughts of the cage so that I can be free Fighting tooth and nail Chipped teeth Nails in a coffin Bloody my fists on the lid Held down by the crushing weight of regret Embarrassment Financial strain All the shame It's 'gotta mean something Once, we were harmless Swallowing dirt, this is me telling you I no longer give a fuck Dragged into my name's anxiety, mar all the attempts to organize my rib cage Now broken fragments embed into my lungs To rearrange would halt my breath I'm sick? I'm sick? Fuck this Explain Request ×
