It's that tick that keeps me from
Doing what I want, that not so gentle
Reminder that holds back my goal
If these things that drive me
Get a hold of my pace
Then forever I'll live in disembodied pain
Can't take back the trauma that I've lived
Learn the lessons not to hurt but just only to forgive
Because this thing that eats at my will like a sin
Will forever drain
Like honey through a sieve
Can't tell my mother that there's a monster in my room
In my dreams it finds me from the smoke of my plume
I show myself with the burning of my fear
Even when you're away I always feel you drawing near
Can't take back the trauma that I've lived
Learn the lessons not to hurt but just only to forgive
Because this thing that eats at my will like a sin
Will forever drain
Like honey through a sieve
I hurt so bad
I've come so far
Nostalgia cuts
Emotion scars
I learn the things that I need to teach my son
How to be free from all these things that hold us back
From feeling love
That I need to live my life
In wanting wait
To be so free from my mistakes
Can't take back the trauma that I've lived
Learn the lessons not to hurt but just only to forgive
Because this thing that eats at my will like a sin
Will forever drain
Like honey through a sieve
