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
