Born in the Middle

I was nine years old in 1998
Thats the year I learned to hyperventilate
My mom gave me a brown paper bag
To breathe into while she called dad
And it sometimes feels like it's still '98

I was born in the middle
Messed up just a little

I was 23 when I learned how to breathe
It's a shame I was ashamed of therapy
It took some years to unpack the baggage
Then pack it up and move to Los Angeles
And now I'm here I never want to leave

I was torn in the middle
Of two worlds intermingled
And I'm scared to go back home sometimes
Cuz it brings up shit from my old life
I was born in the middle
In the middle

Now the same old story different point of view
I don't wanna mess up all that I've I tried to undo
I've done my work to correct the patterns
Read the book and I closed the chapter
Now I'm gonna write it different
Just for you
