Sober

"I am blooming from the wound I once bled." - Rune Lazuli.

C is for Contaminated

You wanted to get to know me,
that's why you memorized the hallway in my brain,
I knew before you told me to get right,
and you took my existence for granted,
and you threw me out like I threw out your family.
Almost like you planned it in one day.

I hated the way you said it,
told me those mean words that day,
Maybe I'd believe you if you'd let me stay,
But I didn't like the way you did it,
Nah, didn't like the way you shoved me,
led me astray.
So I left for years, went my own way,

​And I wish I could've changed it,
so We wouldn't remain contaminated,
and oh, I know what you need,
starting to let me go,
being together We're stained.

You said the world was against Us,
I told you, "you care too much what they say, Z"
You said, "do me a favor and trust my word"
Cuz you promised then and now again,
You said, "Cass let me prove it, look at the world instead,
my word is bond, just trust me, Sis"

And I wish I could've changed it,
so We wouldn't remain contaminated,
and oh, you know what I need,
starting to let you go,
being together We're stained.

And I wish I could've changed it,
so We wouldn't remain contaminated,
and oh, I know what you need,
starting to let me go,
being together We're stained.

And I wish I could change it
And We're always gonna be contaminated
And oh, I know what We need
You start letting me go
Cuz being together We're contaminated.
