lyrics

The physiology of my trauma
Isn’t a ‘what’s wrong’ ‘what happened’ dichotomy
You’re not trained and even if you were

You’d link me a Brené Brown video
And expect me to ‘get dirty’
When my hands are already caked in mud
How do you expect me to hold empathy
Don’t you know?

I have toes that bend left
Fingers slammed in the door
7” records strewn on the floor
Why lecture me on vulnerability?

Don’t link me to some white dude’s TED talk
And expect ‘critical evaluation’
When my hands are already caked in mud
How do you expect me to hold empathy
Do you know?

How do I dig deep, shed light
Share some bandwidth
When you sleep at night
With your beloved

Hell, I’ve used, been abused
While held at arm’s length
You’re on a cruise, hit snooze
On other’s bad days

Am I just fucked, forever stuck
Caked with mud in my own home
I’m so fucked, forever stuck
Tied on your millstone
You said I’m fucked, forever stuck
Caked with mud in my own home
Forever fucked, completely stuck
Tied to a millstone

I watched that Brené Brown video
I really tried to ‘get dirty’
Yet every time I look up in that mirror
I only see eyes that want to hurt me
