still bragging about leaving
still no one knows
the damage you did
before you'd hit the road
for years I sat there
tape across my mouth
listened to the stories
tried not to break down
had to walk out of
so many rooms where
you made sure I'd
hear you from every corner
all I wanted, was a way out
all I wanted, was a way out
when you ran from consequence
swore it'd be the end
until you returned
to start the cycle again

there was no coherent sound
in disbelief you'd go beyond
boundaries you knew couldn't be crossed
a perfect escape made for one
always etched with the mark
of the capital "O"
borders reinforced
by your selfish actions
existing for a shot to live
swept under a rug for safe keep
there's nothing wrong if you can't see it
no accountability if you count the distance
always etched with the mark
of the capital "O"
borders reinforced
by your selfish actions

through desserts and different bodies of water
carrying the weight of an unforeseen future
funny how they claim it's all part of some scheme
and with one single glance, go from human to thief
barriers built to keep out the fear
instead they reaffirm facts that aren't real
ne uno mas, ne uno olvidado
gotta stand for the voices unheard
it’s just what they want, doubt overflowing
rivers of hate eroding progress made
but if histories proven anything
it's that out of pain will come change
barriers built to keep out the fear
instead they reaffirm facts that aren't real
ne uno mas, ne uno olvidado
gotta stand for the voices unheard

can’t be complacent
can’t ignore the facts
now more than ever
gotta fight back
in search of
greater wisdom
to rebuild
our foundations
can’t keep quiet
the silence reaffirms
that actions not seen
never occurred
in search of
greater wisdom
to rebuild
our foundations
recognize
it’s only the first step
fuck the politicians
it’s you who makes a difference

there's a sense of loss, there's a sense of pain
can't figure out which one holds more weight
smashed basement windows, my wrists in your hands
cuffs to make sure I couldn't get away
tell me what it's like
to disregard the years
trying not to drown
'cause I'm still spitting water
...out by the ocean, people all around
chairs thrown in the air, left without a sound
never thought I'd be that embarrassed or ashamed
over time you proved it to be routine
so tell me what it's like
to disregard the years
choking back the tears
'cause I'm still coughing it
out!
when I needed help, you took advantage
equated my worth to being in your bed
for years hated myself, felt disgusted at the thought
now I've grown stronger, didn't need you in the end
tell me what it's like
life without a spine
cause I'll never forget
how you broke mine

I am capable of dark, I am capable of light
it used to tear me two, now it's what sets us apart
I am capable of love despite the damage
freed myself, I am no longer captive
I am ready to give
I want to be better
I want a chance
for redemption
time and distance changed my perspective
forgave myself for the way it all turned out
my hands are not clean, but they're no longer weak
I reclaimed my mind, no longer forced to retreat
I am ready to give
I want to be better
I want a chance
for redemption

feel your eyes
on my back
make me a target
to take aim at
the space between us ain’t
a fucking invitation
your opinions just
verbal intoxication
my names not baby
my names not sweetie
next time you run your mouth
i’ll run it right into the ground
my names not baby
my names not sweetie
next time you run your mouth
i’ll run it right into the ground
