I wear the damage where you can't see

Cut my name into the worst parts of me

If this is what my mind calls honesty

Then let it fucking bleed

(then let it fucking bleeeeed)

You taught my teeth to count the cost, one bite for trust, one more for loss

Now every scar becomes a witness to a trial nobody remembers starting

I learned to read contempt between the syllables, turn a harmless sentence into something criminal

Kept a private list of every way I failed, then called the evidence proof when the verdict came

I was the kid who learned to flinch before anyone swung

My own voice filed the charges, my own hands signed the forms

Called it deserved when I needed somewhere to put the hurt

I fed the doubt until it had a name

Then watched it crawl beneath my skin and sign it

You don't need a knife

When I know exactly where to press

You don't need a threat

When I can manufacture one from nothing

Oh, tell me

Who taught me to confuse pain with proof?

I made a home from the accusation

Then blamed the walls for keeping me there

So if I tear the verdict from the page

Will anything beneath it know my name?

If I stop calling punishment a cure, what the hell am I supposed to blame?

I wear the damage where you can't see

Cut my name into the parts that remember me

If this is what my mind calls honesty

Then let it fucking bleed

(then let it fucking bleed)

(Then let it)

Tear it, Expose it

Drag it through the dirt

Call it weakness and deserved

I know where the rot begins

Know which wound to open

Know exactly how to turn one poisoned thought against another

I wear the damage where you can't see

Cut my name into the worst parts of me

If this is what my mind calls honesty

Then let it fucking bleed

(then let it fucking bleed)
