Scapegoat

Ever since I was young
You'd blame me whenever things would go wrong
And it damaged my health, mentally
Every time you'd rage on me
Exactly how they did in your teens
Did you ever think to take accountability?

Sometimes I ask myself
"What the hell is wrong with me?"
Is it the way, I was raised
That keeps me from succeeding

Hiding, 'cause I've been crying
Is it surprising? The cycle continues
You went through the same thing too
Doing it again is the issue

It's obvious you're unhappy with you life
You need an outlet to let out the fight
So you choose to take it out on me
Does it make you feel superior?
When you tell me I'm inferior
It's obvious by the way you scream

Bring me down just to lift yourself up
I call you out on it and say I've had enough
Can you even comprehend how it's affected me?
Inside, I feel dead and question my identity

You prefer to blame me for something that's your fault
'Cause it's easier to hold someone other than yourself responsible
It all makes sense now, I'm letting go of my self-doubt
Learned that I'm allowed to not let others bring me down

Used to bite my tongue and let you say what you want
Used to care about your words, they really used to hurt
Used to wish that you had never given birth
But I understand, it's out of my hands, it was never my fault, it was just your brand

Do your worst, I'll take it
Hell on earth, I've faced it
Submerged and can't escape it
Learned I should embrace it

Do your worst, I'll take it
Hell on earth, I've faced it
Submerged and can't escape it
Learned I should embrace it

Do your worst, I'll take it
Hell on earth, I've faced it
Submerged and can't escape it
Learned I should embrace it

Do your worst, I'll take it
Hell on earth, I've faced it
Submerged and can't escape it
Learned I should embrace it
