Lyrics

Do you understand
What I have been through this year alone?
Do you understand
How much pain and stress and illness
I have gone through?
Do you understand
How your actions have directly
Caused those things?
Do you understand
That I will struggle until the death of me
Cursed never to find peace
If you don't participate in it?
You make a difference
For a life that so desperately
Longs for a chance at happiness
Peace
Balance, and for life itself
And you know this
I have rarely lived
I have mainly suffered
Not because I won't change
Either
I have changed everything about myself more than once
Looking for the key to the passageway to a wholesome, healthy life
And I will time and
Time again
Until it's achieved
Yet, even though I fail at times
I will always try better
I just want to bring
Light
To a dark place
Everything feels so scripted, like
Of course, OH, OH
Everything feels so scripted, like
"of course, it would only get worse..."
I am trying
Truly trying my best
Yet
I cannot escape
The dark
Without a way to do so
Generational trauma is real
And I will
And have begun to end this curse
I wish that you would understand
That acceptance of the need to change
Is not a weakness
Yet the most beautiful strength
Authenticity is not a weakness
Nor is it wrong to feel shame
If one is truly an active member of the blame
All it does is make one stronger
Because it shows us where we need to change
Because you hide your darkest sides
And refuse to accept all that you are
And to begin the process
The brutal journey of change
Don't be that old man stuck in his ways
Don't be that parent
Even in the most simple or innocent of ways
Remember the child inside of you
Let him speak
Let him guide your way
Let him be vulnerable and keep him safe
Without hurting the other's to make them or the pain stay away
