broken home (feat. gremlin)

Heartbroken from abuse in her past
She's got deep wounds and no way to relax
Because
Her anxiety inflicted from her parents is still lingering inside of her mind
She can't count all the times
That they would beat her
Completely mistreat her
And when she's screaming out for help
Ain't nobody believe her
Because
On the outside, her family looked perfect
They would smile for the cameras
Walk inside and switch person
They were
Everything that every family wished to be
They had money, had kids, and most of all had peace
At least
That's what it looked like to everybody looking in
But inside, there was abuse that was covered by makeup on her skin
Uh
Stuck inside a broken home, and she don't have a choice
You can never see it, but you hear it in her voice
Sleeping with some boys 'cause she wants to feel the void
But love's a battlefield, and the missiles will deploy
Put these scars up on her skin for all the ones who never stayed
She just wants the love that her father never gave
But now she's doing drugs, and she's lost inside her ways
Oceans of emotions drowning under tidal waves
And now she's tryna swim to the surface
But she's so blinded by depression, that she's feelings uncertain
If she should even keep on going or just let it all go
Forget the swim to the top instead just drop the floor
But she hangs on and pushes, till she can see the light
She's still a long way from fine, but she's still choosing to fight
Because despite the fact that she grew up the way that she did
She loves herself more than she hates her dad even in the midst
Of all the trauma that he brought her that still lingers today
Because she realizes that she's the only one that can save
herself from everything that's going on inside of her mind
And she hangs on despite all of the difficult times
Uh, stuck inside a broken home, and she don't have a choice
You can never see it, but you hear it in her voice
Sleeping with some boys 'cause she wants to feel the void
But love's a battlefield, and the missiles will deploy
Put these scars up on her skin for all the ones who never stayed
She just wants the love that her father never gave
But now she's doing drugs, and she's lost inside her ways
Oceans of emotions drowning under tidal waves
