Warning 01:16
Bust it

Hail Mary 02:55
I have my fathers eyes And my mothers grin And I’ve carried his name as a heavy burden For 24 years I carried the blame But there’s no love in a name Maybe if I held on then you’d come back You left us once, you left me twice Replaced us with a white picket fence and nuclear love You use that cross as a crutch A crooked dagger just to sever the ties between us a token problem child with slit wrists and tear stained cheeks Thinking that all this time because I showed it I was weak All I ever wanted was to be loved by you Does my absence keep you awake at night As you think about the person I am Or have you accepted your shortcomings as a so called father Am I even worth the time to take up that space in your mind? I knew I was a mistake, I just wish you never said it to my face I’m so sorry that I wished that you loved me I’m so sorry that I want you around Does this make me easier to love? Knowing that I’ve become the better person I’ve done this all on my own No thanks to you

Persephone 02:50
I’ve tried to clean your scent off of me more times than I can count My throat tired and raw from all the times I screamed and shouted no Holding back this oppression in my chest Because I know this will only stop not when I want it, no, only when you say so Got the grand prize of a hospital gown 2 weeks in the bin and 3 diagnoses Pills to make it better and 6 years of “how are you feeling this week?” And never feeling safe again My body doesn’t feel mine No bringing that innocence back. I struggle to wrap my head around that. This trauma was not created consensually. It was created without my knowing and without my intent Without my consent I never had the privilege of ignorance being bliss I asked why you aren’t listening and you didn’t hear me Pleads falling on deaf ears Don’t fucking say that you love me The inner corners of the walls you invaded have been built back up with an understanding of what it means to feel worthless. It doesn’t matter if my skin heals, the imprints of your fingertips will always burn and crack the sensitive parts of me forever more The times I do remember what you did to me, I feel my ribs cracking, the ground breaking beneath me and the underlying aches are so strong. I hate myself but I hate you so much more How could I let you do that to me? How could you do this to me? Why did you do this to me? I am still wrestling with whether or not this was my fault.

How to Cope 01:01
My self destruction knows nothing of convenience You’ll get tired of me because I’m tired of me I used to know me and I used to know my name I don’t know the person that is staring back at me All I know is they’re not good enough I’m not good enough Self medication and self deprecation Leading to another night alone Staring at the ceiling wondering how it feels to fall
5.
Just like that you were gone Left without a trace My mind is playing catch up And trying to find a way to fill the empty space I tried so hard to be the best I could for you Tried to remove all the bad from me To keep you through and through I’m trying to kill my feelings off for you So that when you come back you’ll just be a stranger I’ve wasted so much time begging Wrapped up in myself waiting for you to come home I’d say your name over and over again Another silent and ungranted prayer No remorse no second glance No second chance I’ll rip myself to shreds so that you can see my insides Do you like watching me bleed for you? I never noticed your razor blade fingers until my skin was stained bloody and red Cut it
6.
Can We Talk? 02:51
If you can hear me out there I wanted you to know I called you home And with perfect timing and your hands around my waist Everything was fine And the world was okay My demons fell asleep Just as I soon will Emotions killed No chase there’s no thrill Now I’m left with the fear of not wanting to be in my own skin Because out of the blue, nothing feels right If you can still hear me out there You should know that I'm still weak at the knees And I wish that I could run away But I can't And I'm so sorry for the poetry I don't understand why I do these things to myself It's mutually assured destruction I'm just setting myself up to fail Break me I used to be so afraid of losing everything I loved So I refused to love anything at all And I don't know what hurts the most Then, I wasn’t an option Because you hate me for hurting you and that is much easier to deal with when I hate myself for the same thing. Let us be honest now, we would have ended up this way and hating you would be even more painful than hating me Your heartbeat was my favorite sound. And i’d just hate to let you down
