backbone Lyrics by POA
You never left
I feel your nails in my throat
they tear me quiet where bruises don’t show
they rip so slow
And never let go
There’s something rotting in my guts
that grew a mouth and won’t shut up
Dig it out
Spit it out
I’d rather bleed than seal it up
Cut me,
wear my skin cause I never wore it right
Cut me open, I never liked what lives inside
Bleed out
everything you stole and never earned
I hope you feel it when it burns
You open me up, you open me up
And tear out my backbone
My hands don’t feel like mine
there’s someone else’s fingerprints along my spine
Get it all out, get it all out
Just get it all out
Cut me,
wear my skin cause I never wore it right
Cut me open, I never liked what lives inside
Bleed out
everything you stole and never earned
I hope you feel it when it burns
You open me up, you open me up
And watch me tear out my backbone
Nobody came for me
I wouldn’t come for me
I’d still let you back in
Bleed out
everything you stole and never earned
I hope you feel it when it burns
You open me up, you open me up
And watch me tear out my backbone
Believe me, I’m fine.
