Fleshwound
This fear
The fear of never being enough
Of failing the ones we love
Shadowed by inherited guilt
By the shame you instilled
You have to kill it
Before this disease can spread
Breathe in and begin again
And Never let it win
Don't drown
Steady yourself and stop your knees from shaking
Wipe away the tears
I'm still here so it's not too late yet
My whole life has been spent inside this cage
Sinking deeper
A fever dream that I'm not a slave to your guilt
And I still feel the void
That you were meant fill
All these years
A Cold hollow emptiness In my bones
I can hear your voice
A deafening white noise
It fills every inch of space
Punishing my mind
Even when you're not around
I cant let it go
Still Suffocating in the lie that the past was ever right
Forbidding any growth
I've felt worthless my whole life
And You're to blame
What kind of fucking father does this?
I Grew up hiding who I am
And The fear nearly broke me
So I Nourished only failures until they became who I am
I locked myself away
I trusted you
A headless leader who gained our trust
I learned nothing from you
I learned nothing of use
Learned Nothing but abuse
A festering blister on my mind
Killing me slowly over time
I am destined to fail
I see you in my reflection every fucking day
A reminder of who I'm meant to be
Blackened ash blankets every branch
Covering everything until it stifles anything growing inside of me
The fear of never being enough
Of failing the ones we love
Shadowed by inherited guilt
By the shame you instilled
You have to kill it
Before this disease can spread
Breathe in and begin again
And Never let it win
Don't drown
Steady yourself and stop your knees from shaking
Wipe away the tears
I'm still here so it's not too late yet
My whole life has been spent inside this cage
Sinking deeper
A fever dream that I'm not a slave to your guilt
And I still feel the void
That you were meant fill
All these years
A Cold hollow emptiness In my bones
I can hear your voice
A deafening white noise
It fills every inch of space
Punishing my mind
Even when you're not around
I cant let it go
Still Suffocating in the lie that the past was ever right
Forbidding any growth
I've felt worthless my whole life
And You're to blame
What kind of fucking father does this?
I Grew up hiding who I am
And The fear nearly broke me
So I Nourished only failures until they became who I am
I locked myself away
I trusted you
A headless leader who gained our trust
I learned nothing from you
I learned nothing of use
Learned Nothing but abuse
A festering blister on my mind
Killing me slowly over time
I am destined to fail
I see you in my reflection every fucking day
A reminder of who I'm meant to be
Blackened ash blankets every branch
Covering everything until it stifles anything growing inside of me
