lyrics

Alone and airborne a beast saunters in
he's got the hunger in his eyes and there's no stopping him
and you didn't know a thing about innocence 'til it was stolen
grab hold you've got to learn to swim
how long were you without oxygen?
you wouldn't know, until you took another breath in

You grew tall with your tales and your walls
and your parallel lines and your bags and bottles
crashed hard to teach you to keep rising

I grew up fast I guess I grew up mean
but can someone please explain to me
why's it gotta hurt the most to try to grow wiser?

And so you learn from a young age that everyone wants something from you, head down avoid gazes. Anything set to remind you.
When you cannot recognize what's genuine, ingest these poisons just to lower your defenses for awhile.
But they kill what's worth sharing in you, so fuck that.

I won't stop fighting as long as I'm breathing,
I will find what works if I keep believing.
I remember how it felt when I said and I meant
that your head on my chest
makes my history hurt less.
