You look at my pain like it's taking too long, A burden you can't carry no more. I’m drowning in ghosts that aren't even mine, While my own broken childhood is frozen in time. [Pre-Chorus] You’re shifting your weight, and you’re clearing your throat, An anonymous crowd on a freezing cold boat. I’m bleeding your feelings, I'm stuck in your glow, While my own open wounds are left out in the snow. [Chorus] What a joke, what a jest, I’m absorbing your chaos while starving my chest. I beg for your mercy, you give me a test, Society preaches to pull up my boots, While I tend to your branches and rot at my roots. You just want the sponge to keep wiping your floor, Look at my scars, have a care, I implore. [Verse 2] My mind needs a minute to grieve and to heal, But it’s generational trauma I feel. I look to the world for a hand or a sign, But everyone's checked out and drawing a line. I'm desperate for empathy, for someone to see, That I'm dying from carrying you and carrying me. [Bridge] I need you to listen, I need you to see, Instead of a slogan, just give me your "we". Hold space for the ache and the tears that I cry, Don't turn your face and just quickly walk by. I'm begging for sympathy you never send, Trying to fix you just so I can mend. [Chorus] What a joke, what a jest, I’m absorbing your chaos while starving my chest. I beg for your mercy, you give me a test, Society preaches to pull up my boots, While I tend to your branches and rot at my roots. You just want the sponge to keep wiping your floor, Look at my scars, have a care, I implore. [Outro] Have a care... Please just care... I scream for your warmth as I burn in your fire, To be saved by a world that I save is my endless desire...
