About the Artist
Lyrics
Roots of this tree, bury me Environmental chokehold I can't fucking breathe Control I feared losing, ripped away from me Left on my own— palms bloodied Won't keep swallowing everything you feed Damaged mind and body no fucking need Once a child I never could see, my eyes are open Enlightened me Never learned what family means Bottles tarnish What it could be Deny your actions, infect my wounds Let it fester, spiral soon Tooth and nail, fight for this life It's in my heart, it's in my eyes In my eyes
