reclaim

if guilt has a purpose its to keep me in line
shame is a curse keeps me close to the group
when will i forgive myself for the hurt of the past?
between belonging and uniqueness
im stranded alone i am speechless
how long will i carry all this weight
my back it cannot last
this guilt & shame can be fuel for change
but it cannot sustain us forever
use hurt & pain to try avoid it again
and we'll find ways to reclaim ourselves
reclaim.

how long it took

the body will mend if you let it
if you move slow enough you'll start to repair
how long will it take how much will it hurt
one day you'll wake up and you will know
the pain will stop when its finished
but you can hold it as it moves through you
how long will it take how much will it hurt
one day you'll wake up and you will know
we learn after the act
but demand answers now
we still scream at the sky
like it changes it somehow
we cannot control something
and that kills us
we'll lose all of our minds
& destroy our bodies to prove it
the hurt will end when you end hurting yourself
i know it doesn't feel like it but you're in the drivers seat
one day you'll wake up and you will know
how long it took and how much it hurt.

does your brain tell stories that overstay
and then the ache hangs around for days
don't hold your breath waiting for your love to change
cuz each body hold pain in a different way
the wound doesn't look so big
after you clean it up a little bit
wipe the dirt and rocks from your skin
wash it out get back up again
maybe we fall more than we don't
sometimes it feels so far between the big wins
lets stop counting & measuring
lets start anchoring and enjoying
get back up again.

my biggest fear is you

i cracked the window so i could breath
put my seat down so no one could see me
put my feet up blood rushed to my head
felt better than you knowing that i was here
i disappear from rooms i know you'll be in
i'm terrified to be alone with you
cant explain how you do it but you make me sick
an ugly spell i was living under it
my stomach drops out when you talk
destabilise me with just a few words
its funny how you live with out a thought
for any of the harm that you cause
panicked as i walk down the street
cuz ever second person looks like you and me
i poured so much of my love into you
makes me feel stupid makes me feel ill
its true
my biggest fear is you.

i wanna buy a camera
and take photos of all my friends
my biggest fear on this hell earth
is one day not remembering them
i wanna hold you so close
and create our own human heat
i can see all of you can you see all of me
i think we just want to feel seen
cuz i've got holes in my brain
from all the silly things that i've done
but me and this body are still so happy to be here
do your arms get tired from holding your body up?
sometimes my arms get tired when i'm pretending i'm fine when i'm not
do your arms get tired from holding your body up?
sometimes my arms get tired when i'm pretending i'm fine when i'm not
i will hold you up and i don't expect you to do it for me.

your voice
even better in person
and your smile
instant and welcoming
and the tension
so real i could grab it
and your eyes
times stop i am lost
your touch
soft and magnetic
and your kiss
energy kinetic
yeah you fit in right next to me
we are ok
i can tell we will be.

doomed to fall in love with everyone but myself
cursed to wander alone this hostile world
i carry this heavy husk that id never choose
forced to play born to lose
when will you see me for what i am
you need to let go of what you thought i was
this isn't a poor reflection of any of youse
we're all forced to play but allowed to choose
what makes you happy
do you even know
what makes you tick
what drives you to grow
im so sorry i can't be what you need
but it still feels so empty without you next to me.

theres a really sad line
in that one pop song we like
i think it was on that tv show
you know the one how does it go?
i love the juxtaposition
between heartbreak n body movement
a glimpse of the suffering
in time with beat im following
im scared if i slow down
that i will disappear
i turn the music up loud
and press down into my feet
when it all gets quite and
everyone has gone home
the ringing in my ears
makes me feel less alone
"i can't stop the pain inside me"

sell yourself short
cuz you think its all your worth
tokenise your life
for their wealth
they don't want to
make a difference
they just wanna look like they are helping,
sell a record and a t shirt
lets try monetise air
your only as real
as you forcefully exploit yourself
is there any community
or is it just advertising
is there anything of substance
or is this just compounded lying
i urge you to set you bar higher for yourself
and those around you
you don't have to just exist
as a relief form their guilt
don't let them bring you don't
don't let them qualify you
we don't have to be nice to deserve human rights.
