Take me down Without a sound A silent drown I surrender now Trauma is a time bomb ticking in reverse (Take me down) It starts with an end, the explosion is the first (Without a sound) And my life is trying to recall what's worse (A silent drown) Dying from the pain or living with the hurt (I surrender now) Cage me in a secret Listen to me sing Lock me in your fingers Clip my broken wings I trusted you to have my back Instead you stabbed me in the back My survival is a code That you could never crack Cage me in a secret Listen to me sing Lock me in your fingers Clip my broken wings I trusted you to have my back Instead you stabbed me in the back My survival is a code That you could never crack This is how I died in a past life Underwater tragedy in moonlight That's the little gift that you gave me The whole time calling me your baby It's all in metaphors What do I use them for Coded conversation I could never talk about it I'd be better off without it This twisted revelation You and me we're not the same In the ways we do our pain I'd never let it transfer Violently on someone else We already live in hell: A question with no answer Trauma is a time bomb ticking in reverse (Take me down) It starts with an end, the explosion is the first (Without a sound) And my life is trying to recall what's worse (A silent drown) Dying from the pain or living with the hurt (I surrender now) Cage me in a secret Listen to me sing Lock me in your fingers Clip my broken wings I trusted you to have my back Instead you stabbed me in the back My survival is a code That you could never crack Cage me in a secret Listen to me sing Lock me in your fingers Clip my broken wings I trusted you to have my back Instead you stabbed me in the back My survival is a code That you could never crack

Asked you a thousand times to stay Then you packed up and got on your plane Iā€™m not the one to go chasing fools like that Iā€™m not the bitch you wanna treat like that Diaspora lover Where are you going Coast-to-coast exit Once our feelings start showing Is strength too much for you? Is femme too much for you? Is love too much for you? My love is too much for you I donā€™t have a homeland I donā€™t have a love I donā€™t have much choice Except for all of the above These boys and these borders Love to leave me lonely How dare you get the world Then say Iā€™m your one and only (I see imaginary lines I see imaginary lies) I donā€™t have a homeland I donā€™t have a love I donā€™t have much choice Except for all of the above These boys and these borders Love to leave me lonely How dare you get the world Then say Iā€™m your one and only Too young to die Too old to know why We run and hide From borders in the sky Imaginary lines Imaginary lies Got our hands tied Canā€™t even say goodbye Diaspora lover Where are you going Coast-to-coast exit Once our feelings start showing Is strength too much for you? Is femme too much for you? Is love too much for you? My love is too much for you I donā€™t have a homeland I donā€™t have a love I donā€™t have much choice Except for all of the above These boys and these borders Love to leave me lonely How dare you get the world Then say Iā€™m your one and only (I see imaginary lines I see imaginary lies) I donā€™t have a homeland I donā€™t have a love I donā€™t have much choice Except for all of the above These boys and these borders Love to leave me lonely How dare you get the world Then say Iā€™m your one and only Diaspora lover Where are you going Coast-to-coast exit Once our feelings start showing Is strength too much for you? Is femme too much for you? Is love too much for you? My love is too much for you I pray for my father I pray for my mother I pray for you my diaspora lover To gods that you claim Have long since stopped listening But only you can undo Your own christening I forgive you, For the things that youā€™ve done But I know that we cannot be the only ones Who seek solace in others cuz weā€™re tryna heal Lo siento I canā€™t help the way that I feel I; wanna be someone you can turn to But I think I might have to learn to Walk this road alone in the meantime But in the end will I be fine? I donā€™t know but I have hope I donā€™t know but I have hope I donā€™t know but I have hope I donā€™t know but I have hope

Close your eyes I really wanna see you Make it out alive At least this time Eyes on the prize Itā€™s all overwhelming just to try And stay alive So for tonight I know the world is so rough People donā€™t know what they do Kill us and call us names Bruised bodies me and you For now letā€™s just forget them For once letā€™s get some sleep Under the covers of tonight Maybe weā€™ll find relief I know the world is so rough People donā€™t know what they do Kill us and call us names Bruised bodies me and you For now letā€™s just forget them For once letā€™s get some sleep Under the covers of tonight Maybe weā€™ll find relief

Nobody can promise forever And I wanna promise you this life But someone broke me long ago Now nobody can fix me right Nobody can promise forever And I wanna promise you this life But someone broke me long ago Now nobody can fix me right Iā€™m not as strong as I used to be Sickness has come over me And I donā€™t wanna infect you with it Dangers inflict more conflict Donā€™t want you to know Why I'm hurting I see my past when I look at your Face It just kills me babe Iā€™m just so afraid Of how I need you babe Should we beat the odds? Should we rise above? Fear was just a question My answer is love Nobody can promise forever (Promise... forever) And I wanna promise you this life (You... life) But someone broke me long ago (Broke meā€¦ go) Now nobody can fix me right (Fix me... right) Nobody can promise forever (Promise... forever) And I wanna promise you this life (You... life) But someone broke me long ago (Broke meā€¦ go) Now nobody can fix me right (Fix me... right) I stay on my own Havenā€™t gotten sleep yet Climbing to the top Wonder if Iā€™ll meet ya Didnā€™t wanna go there Didnā€™t wanna at all Waiting to fall Our hearts say it all Is it ā€œI love youā€ We failed to perform And I run away Can you take it babe? Why you wanna stay? Can you take it babe? Iā€™m not the girl I used to be Not so clear now You cannot see Nobody can promise forever (Promise... forever) And I wanna promise you this life (You... life) But someone broke me long ago (Broke meā€¦ go) Now nobody can fix me right (Fix me... right) Nobody can promise forever (Promise... forever) And I wanna promise you this life (You... life) But someone broke me long ago (Broke meā€¦ go) Now nobody can fix me right (Fix me... right) Is it ā€œI love youā€? Or is it the end? Is it ā€œI love youā€? And can we begin?

Canā€™t steer proper Drive outside the lines Iā€™m so ugly That I just need to die 4 in the morning Iā€™ve forgotten how to cry Somebody hit me ā€˜Cause I just need to die Look in the mirror Nothing gets clearer Shattered reflections Broke intersections Look in the mirror Nothing gets clearer Shattered reflections Broke intersections They say boo like it's scary Undesirable to death Keep em at bay like a ferry Hideous til my last breath So romantic on this careless wheel Undesirable to death Spin me round just for the thrill Hideous til my last breath All the normies stare at me In my gender on the street Shut the fuck up Get your eyes off me Shut the fuck up With your white supremacy Shut the fuck up Give my friends the currency Will I make it? Oh god weā€™ll see Will we make it? Oh god weā€™ll see Will we make it, baby? Hopefully Look in the mirror Nothing gets clearer Shattered reflections Broke intersections Look in the mirror Nothing gets clearer Shattered reflections Broke intersections They say boo like it's scary Undesirable to death Keep em at bay like a ferry Hideous til my last breath So romantic on this careless wheel Undesirable to death Spin me round just for the thrill Hideous til my last breath The sidewalk leads to a rainbow The rainbow leads to no gold Seattle so cold And hangovers I treat like do-overs Water splash on me (skrrrt) Range Rovers I ain't sober enough This layover Hung up on payolla I know it, they saying so I see you ain't laying low I'm riding or kill me slow If they find me come take me now 'cause they already took my soul They say boo like it's scary Undesirable to death Keep em at bay like a ferry Hideous til my last breath So romantic on this careless wheel Undesirable to death Spin me round just for the thrill Hideous til my last breath Undesirable to death Hideous til my last breath Undesirable to death Hideous til my last breath
