Disaster Scenes

The last person I dated accused me of trauma dumping And they were absolutely right, that's why I spit it on the mic And y'all can turn this shit off whenever you like You're probably pretty selfish like every other human Conditioned by a sick society, lackin' empathy Actin' like narcissism is healthy We blame it on our childhood, we blame it on the government To some people out there, self-care means Shooting up in a corner or compulsively fucking Seen my mother go from addict to addict And watching the madness of repeating patterns causes damage Seen my father turn to a ninety-pound crackhead And that shit won't just leave a kid's hand

But all of these (All of these) Disaster scenes (Disaster scenes) Have taught me everything

The first person I hated said that they would never leave me They broke that promise, how I'm dishonest to Anyone that tries to help the trauma inside my head I'm a liar and a bad friend just like every other human I'll burn the city down just to make you frown But won't look you in the eyes long enough to make a connection I point my fingers at the drug war, point the pockets finding federal Our prison system no different than economic terrorism Destroying the family from within The hurt and anger become fully grown, bitter as a broken nose The weight of the snow outside a broken home Life in a violent law stolen to a knife fight To the soundtrack of a soul passin' through a glass pipe

All of these (All of these) Disaster scenes (Disaster scenes) Have taught me everything, oh

I can't believe that I waited until this moment to say anything About what happened to me when I was no more than three Because today, it isn't bothering See, I am not a victim like every other human And not everything bad comes from the hands of a man And it was him that had her way that day I blamed it on my childhood, I blamed it on my fucking parents How could they leave me in the hands of a creep? She abused and debased me Handin' me a bar of soap, tellin' me to clean up before I go I burned like nothing I'd ever known

All of these (All of these) Disaster scenes (Disaster scenes) Have taught me everything I know All of these (All of these) All of these (All of these) All of these (All of these) Disaster scenes (Disaster scenes) Have taught me everything All of these All of these
