[Verse]
If you're a younger fan, this track may be too heavy to bear
I'm about to share my truth, stripped down and brutally bare
Scared to unveil these scars, but it's time for my voice to speak free
A tale of my trauma, a journey through the depths of me

It all started at a young age, innocence torn apart
A family friend's son, his actions dark and cruel, broke my heart
I was just a kid, seeking solace in a world so cold
Desperate for acceptance, with nobody else to hold
So he started to touch me gently over my body slowly going low
I didn't know what was happening, fuck I didn't know
I didn't resist, confused by the twisted pleasure I felt
Thinking maybe this was normal, that he could help
But it was all a lie, a web of self-hatred and despair
Talking in ways I shouldn't, not understanding the weight I would bear

I entered his house weekly out of fear, the illusion of safety shattered in an instant
The memories etched into my mind, haunting and persistent
Every day felt like an eternity, trapped in the grasp of his evil reign
I couldn't leave, suffocated by fear, my cries silenced in pain
Blinded by the darkness, the blood staining my soul
I couldn't breathe, suffocating under his control
The fear, the terror, carving scars that would never fade
Felt like he had no empathy, leaving me broken and betrayed
When he finally got distraced, exhaustion consumed his twisted frame
I went and went, the only chance for my freedom to reclaim
Felt like I died, for one oversight
Got back home, a glimmer of hope in a sea of darkness, a flicker of light
But I couldn't speak, trapped in the shame and isolation
Embarrassed, lost, and burdened by this tormenting revelation
I was just a child, robbed of my innocence and trust
Left to navigate the aftermath, consumed by anguish and disgust
Man I was just a child
Fuck
I was just a child

Sleep evaded me, my dreams invaded by relentless pain
A living hell, where triggers lurked, driving me insane
Kept it all inside, screaming silently in my shattered mind
Tortured by the memories that refused to leave me behind
Bed every night, a sanctuary turned into a battlefield
Tears soaked the pillow, as pain refused to yield
But I refused to succumb, to let this define my story
Slowly, I rebuilt the fragments, finding strength in my own glory

One day got great news, that bastard was moving away
Wave of relief went over me like I hit a payday
Went on the journey to healing, a road paved with resilience and grace
Reclaiming my power, step by step, at my own pace
Though the scars remain, a reminder of the past's cruel sting
I stand tall, embracing the light that hope can bring
Thank you for lending an ear, for hearing my truth unfold
Together, we can raise awareness, empower the voices untold
For those who've suffered in silence, you're not alone in this fight
Let's break the chains of darkness, let's illuminate the night
Thank you for loving me
