about

A fictional abuse survivor's fight song.

lyrics

The ocean swells and puts me at ease
Puts me at ease, puts me, puts me at ease
And I wear these scars like a bad dream
Like a bad dream, like a, like a bad dream
I don’t know why you had to leave me to die
I don’t know why you didn’t save me
I don’t know why you let them keep me alive

Soft lips, still breath
I’m outliving you yet
Pink cheeks, warm blood
I pulled myself out of the flood

And so I write to say I’m glad you’re not here
Glad you’re not here, glad you’re, glad you’re not here
Haven’t lost my faith, but I’ve shed all of my fear
All of my fear
And should you ever come back, try to make things right
You may have hurt me, but I’m not gonna give up the fight
And should you ever believe the time will be soon
I will sink beneath the waves and let the salt sting my wounds

Soft lips, still breath
I’m outliving you yet
Pink cheeks, warm blood
I pulled myself out of the flood

Ooh, I’m glad you lost your way away from me
Ooh, I’m glad you turned on the light so I could see, yeah

And on this beach, I’ll never miss you
Never miss you, never, never miss you
And I’ll never forget ‘cause I want all of the proof
All of the proof
The stains wash out, but the memories last
I want to serve as a warning from the past
So if I hear you’ve stolen another one
She can take a look at me and learn what you have done

Soft lips, still breath
I’m outliving you yet
Pink cheeks, warm blood
I pulled myself out of the flood
Out of the flood
