lyrics

In your veins, you’ll find a letter written by your mother and her mother. Your father signed on the dotted line but couldn’t bother reading through the fine print. It reads, “Here, take this piece of me. Try to do it better than I was able to.”

When you kept that box of photos in the closet with the laundry detergent, the bottle of bleach went over and soaked through all the shelves and stained—I mean completely erased—more than half the photographs your mother always meant to frame.

“Sometimes you don’t think. You need to learn. You need—hey, are you listening to me?”

When you cut your hand when you were five picking up a piece of broken glass you found in the basement, you watched the blood gather in your palm.

Hey, are you scared of what you’d see in yourself if only you tried? You’d find yourself if only you tried.

Hey, are you listening to me? I’ve been screaming to get this through to you.
