Descrição

this is a song i wrote reflecting on childhood abuse. it's out now on all streaming platforms, listen with care and hear it in your own way.
hope it helps, guess we'll see x

listening to johnny cash and james brown
trying to dry my eyes and wipe my tears
without a sound

drive for hours to god knows where
in burning heat
you’d apologise for earlier on
you didn’t mean to
take it out all on me
there’s stuff that i can’t see
i wouldn’t understand
you said don’t tell the angels
you’ll put them in danger
and leave blood your hands

nobody could’ve taught me the lessons
you taught with aggression
grown to see
took the worst of you to get the best of me
took the worst of you to get the best of me

driving in my car listening to a boy named sue
took me back to where i said i’d never go
back to you
to thank you for my true grit
and how i’ll never quit until i’m underground

you forced me in a diamond press
struck me not to take no mess
after these years i see now

nobody could’ve taught me the lessons
you taught with aggression
grown to see
took the worst of you to get the best of me
took the worst of you to get the best of me

worst of you
best of me
worst of you
best of me
