lyrics

I had a dream last night
When I awoke I saw myself in a different light
Saw a child in pain
Barren-faced in a family picture frame

Bleeding eyes, deep inside, burning through the back of my skull
Bleeding thighs, keep in mind, know that I've been there before
The cycle repeats

How can I say, "it's not the world you need to be afraid of"
"It's your father and the very tissue that you're made of"
Oh
"Your own flesh and blood"
How could I ever trust myself to be the one
To be there for a son, or daughter, or whatever you choose
I just hope that you don't see through my ruse,
'Cause I've got more than just a few screws loose


So I close my eyes
Took a moment to reflect back on my life
Cause I still got time
We all got to grow, and we don't stop before we die

Take a breath, second-guess, wouldn't be the first time I've grown
Self-reflect, just accept, there are always things that I won't know
It's not over yet for me

How can I say "there's no shame in having something you're afraid of"?
And "it shows strength to accept the mess you're made of"?
Your own flesh and blood, and someday I'll trust myself to be the one,
to be there for a son, or daughter, or whatever you choose
But I know that I don't need no fucking rules

There's no shame in showing face, instead of hiding it away,
All this lying stops today, that's the truth

It'll be alright
I'm taking my time

It'll be alright
I'm taking my time

It'll be alright
I'm taking my time

It'll be alright
I'm taking my time
