Disaster Scene (feat. Stacey Dee)
[Ceschi]
The last person I dated accused me of trauma dumping
And they were absolutely right, that's why I spit it on the mic
And ya'll can turn this shit off whenever you like
You're probably pretty selfish
Like every other human
Conditioned by a sick society, lacking empathy
Acting like narcissism is healthy
We blame it on our childhood
We blame it on the government
To some people out there self-care means shooting up in a corner or compulsively fucking
Seen my mother go from addict to addict
And watching the madness of repeating patterns causes damage
Seen my father turn into a 90-pound crack head
And that shit just won't leave a kid's head
But all of these disaster scenes
Have taught me everything
[Sam King]
The first person I hated said that they would never leave me
They broke that promise now I'm dishonest with anyone that tries to help the trauma inside my head
I'm a liar and a bad friend
Just like every other human
I'll burn this city down if it will make you frown
But won't look you in the eyes long enough to make a connection
I'll point out fingers at the drug war, point to pockets funding federal
A prison system no different than economic terrorism destroying the family from within
I heard an anger become fully grown, bitter as a broken nose
The weight of the snow outside a broken home
Life in a violent law, stroll into a knife fight
To the soundtrack of a soul passing through a glass pipe
And all of these disaster scenes
Have taught me everything
[Stacey Dee]
I can't believe that I waited until this moment to say anything
About what happened to me when I was no more than three
Because today it isn't bothering
See I am not a victim, like every other human
And not everything bad comes from the hands of a man
And it was Pam who had her way on that day
I blamed it on my childhood, I blamed it on my fucking parents
How could they leave me in the hands of a creep
She abused and debased me
Handing me a bar of soap, telling me to clean up before I go
A burn like nothing I'd ever known
All of these disaster scenes have taught me everything I know
All of these
All of these
All of these
Disaster scenes
Have taught me everything
All of these
All of these
