I STILL FEEL IT IN THE BONE

Dragged myself up to the light

My mother cries, I'm on the other side

They will hold me on their shoulders, they'll all ask how I survived

And I will lie

Cheers of relief on deaf ears

Their mouths move with praise I can't hear

They will hang my portrait proudly, tell their kids how I survived

But it's a lie

'Cause I'm always under you

I'm always laying in that room

And now, my wrists may not be bruised anymore

But I still feel it in the bone

I still feel it in the bone

I still feel it in the bone

I still feel it in the bone

I still feel it in the bone

You're nestled in my spine

Your touch metastasized

You live your quiet life

Out of sight, in my mind

Call it a silent crime

Slow acting cyanide

I tried to close my eyes

Out of sight, in my mind
