Well I guess everybody's sick of the way they are,
fell so deep into submission, I feel dominant.
I start
to force myself not to do anything stupid again.
I learnt that everyone breathes fire
I learnt we all beg for shelter
I witnessed as the world bled with anger
and my eyes popped out of my skull.
And as the world clamoured with fear,
I was empty
I was clear
for a second -
a bottle emptied into a hole.
You said it's all in my head
but the voices are drunk again.
They told me to watch
with an open mind
and know that everything can change if we don't hold on tight.
You said "If you wanted to find piece,
you could have found it on your own a long time ago."
But this bedroom begs to be lived into
it begs to be exactly what I need.
I never once asked for acceptance.
I've begged my whole life for forgiveness
but the world never promised anything
and that was never guaranteed.
You said it's all in my head
but the voices are drunk again.
They told me to watch
with an open mind
and know that everything can change if we don't hold on tight.
As the world goes down swinging,
it fought like a champion.
My chest keeps on burning.
I told myself to stop complaining.
I want to be proud of who I am.
I want to be proud of who I am.
