about

[18; for survivors of abuse]

lyrics

black and bruised. you thought that i would lose judging by the navy hues drawn beneath my eyes. strokes of hands turned into strangling grasps, reaching for something we never had. some shelter from the bad. // i could have never saw it coming. i could never predict the clouds. i would have never heard the storm from afar. // when you hurt me, i never felt the pain. i kept singing through black and blues and in the midst of all the rain. and when you laughed, well darling, so did i. and though you tried to break my wings, you knew that i would always fly. // covers of the news can't tell the stories of me and you. only thing that ever got me through was hiding the pain that grew within me. and even to this day, i wish the tears would go away. wish you had made the choice to stay. i blame myself for all these changes. // you know, i never saw it coming. i could never predict the clouds. who would have ever heard the storm from afar? // when you hurt me, i never felt the pain. i kept singing through black and blues and in the midst of all the rain. and when you laughed, well darling, so did i. and though you tried to break my wings, you knew that i would always fly.
