Notions (feat. Porch Dream)

Core memories.

Hiding down beneath air tight fixtures.

Generational curses stirring up and served

As wise elixirs.

Some we suppress,

Others we confess

Have served as quite the compass

For how we live.

Some we create,

Others are innate.

Products off the shelves

Of our cultural eye.

Too young to know it was unkind.

Held as gospel,

And forced to reshape our mind.

I know it wasn't your intention,

To pass me all of your obsessions.

My self worth depleted,

I chose to run the other way.

The picture of beauty was painted

For the shallow minds.

Too young to know it was unkind.

Held as gospel, and forced to reshape our mind.

And I don’t know how far they’ll go

Before we’ve lost our will to change

(My self-worth, depleting)

Forced to run the other way

(Run Away)

Your silence screams, yet we remain
