about

this track is my expression of experiences growing up in a household of domestic abuse and violence. i share about the physical abuse my mother endured, my pursuit to be unaffected by the violence i witnessed and the sad discovery that despite my own efforts i was indeed affected and to this day, still am.

lyrics

and so i tried to find a way,
consumed by pride and desperate faith.

the memories formed while seasons changed,
were meant to push you toward erase.

but i could break every pain, when i prayed for bitter days
to soak in flowers toward a savory taste - this flavor devoured was by daily escape

you were the one who made me strong - abused my mind till callus formed.
you hated loud, you hated long - the hours crept through crying storms.

through all the blood and all the brains that stained the carpet and the sheets...

you hurt her soul and so we stayed - in damaged places i remained.
