Lyrics

I was trying not to remember

The times I thought I lost my soul

When I was being smashed to the ground

And could no longer make

My own internal sounds


I couldn't breathe

When you were choking me

I knew my brain was dying

My body freaking out


Escalating intensity

In my soul's crying

As my mind started

To block, blackout


Why would you do this to me

You wanted me to be captive


In that moment

Facing death

Everything slowed down

In my brain

All about wrecked


My mind was racing

And yet everything became clear

In a moment of my freaking out

Realizing I was losing the life

I held so dear


You didn't care about me

In those moments

You didn't care whether

You were killing me


You looked away from my eyes

And laughed

Then you turned your eyes right around

To try and pierce my soul

To let me know that I was just trash

Your trash


While you tortured

The living daylights

Out of me


Your malicious life

Your sadistic ploy

To over power me

For your own joy


What a monster

And monstrous act

To treat me like that

To treat me like trash


When I survived each attack

I had to get up every time

To get back to life

And pretend each day

As I walked out into the world

To pretend to be okay


Parts of me dying inside

Parts of me crying inside

Parts of me trying to deny inside

The devastation


Then trying to lie to myself

So that I could trick my body

Into pretending it wasn't hurt

But it wouldn't always work


Trying to pretend

I wasn't scared

People telling me

Not to question

Whether it was fair

Life's not fair

They said

So How dare I

Play a victim


Trying to pretend

I was unaffected and strong

So that I wouldn't be targeted again

Because I was weak

It was an impossible feat


When you knew

You already knew

They already knew

They had ultimate power

Over you

It was basically a joke to them


Using their power

To intimidate you into submission

Everyday

There's no getting away

From that


No way to get away

From identifying with

The body and brain attacks


There's no escape

From the knowledge

That the person

Will never have your back


You're on this journey

Alone

To find meaning and purpose

In a broken life


Within all the broken pieces

And relationships

Being lectured by others

To stop looking and acting hurt

No matter what

Don't feel sorry for yourself

You are undeserving

Of even self compassion


Alienate yourself

From your own inner soul

That type of criticism

Takes a toll


Shame on you

For being weak

Blame on you

For falling victim to a creep


Why so harsh

I was just a kid

Wanting to be loved


Why so harsh

You weren't there

You didn't see

The power imbalance

It's hatred you share


All the internal scars

And dysregulation

From being marred

From being impaled

As Indentations are made into

And onto your body and mind


What right do you have

To dig me down even further


My spirits voice and sounds

From the bottom

Of my soul's pain

I've been pared

And laid bare


You didn't care
