My friends always tell me I get carried away Sometimes I spit when I talk cuz I have so much to say They don´t seem to hear me but I guess it´s ok It´s not their fault my minds working overtime with no pay
They always say the same things and it´s starting to get old That my head can´t get sick It can´t catch a cold I scratch and I pick My insecurities poke My fears, my anxiety, a voice that provokes Take a walk, clear your head, breathe in count to ten Cuz on the first page of life written in red You´ll never make it here if you don´t learn how to bend
Don´t speak unless you´re spoken to, little girl Someday you will find your place in the world But ladies don´t get dirty Someday you´ll learn to fill the empty space With empty faith
Everyday feels like a battle and I always get hurt I was frequently told violence was never the answer But life doesn´t abide by the rules of a child I don´t know how to fight only taught how to surrender There´s a certain kind of darkness that does a reaping It usually takes you right before you are sleeping Is it the crack in the door that it finds a way to creep in? Or the crack in your brain that wants you to drop dead I don´t remember what it´s like to see with clear vision
I awake every morning like the dead has arisen I don´t have to think this body of mine is a prison You don´t control me I just gotta find the light switch But the more that I look the further I get You´re the only thing about me that needs to be fixed Cuz on the first page of life written in fine print Stop looking for light, live it instead
Don´t speak unless you´re spoken to, little girl Someday you will find your place in the world But ladies don´t get dirty Someday you´ll learn to fill the empty space With empty faith
My mind is a mess but I love it none the less They tell me to hush but my words are all that´s left So on the last page of life written in gold Don´t waste it always doing what you´re told
