lyrics

When I was younger I was full of fear and rage.
Innocence had left me at an early age.
When I was younger I was living hopelessly,
Building walls to guard, so strong, but now I can't break free.
You humiliated us, removed our lives from love.
All this pain has made me stronger.
You destroyed a part of me, but you could never make me weak.
All this pain just makes me stronger.

When I was younger you ruled us like a tyrant.
Tip-toe past the mountain, careful not to wake the giant.
In my room, I'd lock the door, and close my tiny little eyelids,
But the nightmare was apparent, my fists too small to fight it.
Through my slumber I could hear your voice like thunder
And I'd wonder if my mother was in trouble when you stung her.
Well, now I'm stronger, but I feel weak when I think of you.
I hate it that I hate and that the hatred in me came from you.
I'm still struggling to fix the cuts,
I drink like it's a suture, then I mix it with some indica.
I lend my scars to stars - something to cling to.
Although, these fears, for years, have kept me reclusive.
You, you're something lesser than a man,
A creature undeserving of the land on which it stands.
Knowing that you're out there with a daughter missing you at night
Kills me in the way that it kills her.
You took a life.
You fucking monster.
