We live!

We live
Even as we wonder why
We live
With trauma locked inside
We fight
Against the urge to die
Parched for love and cast aside

Childhood shame, internal blame
Incest bore a complex pain
We live and die against the grain
For ourselves
We live

We live
For nights like this
Basements packed with burning kids
We scream, just to make sense of things
Studs and leather, survivors' wings

Childhood shame, internal blame
Incest bore a complex pain
We live and die against the grain
For ourselves
We live
With pride
Childhood shame, internal blame
Incest bore a complex pain
We live and die against the grain
For ourselves
We live

We live <3 <3 <3
