[00:10.29]Million dollar baby girl in the lower middle class\/
[00:13.23]With a maglight right beneath her pillow\/
[00:15.71]And though shes never been a boxer by choice\/
[00:18.42]Shes known to act oak you never catch her a willow\/
[00:20.99]Shes the calm type\/ you see the small scars\/
[00:23.63]Creepin down her arms\/ peeking from them long sleeves\/
[00:26.13]Right\/ she keeps em weak in the knees\/ but she stay out of sight\/
[00:28.73]And when the school bell rings\/ its goodnight\/
[00:31.06]Or might as well be\/ he never sees her around\/
[00:33.53]But he looks\/ for weeks now hes been maybe tomorrow\/
[00:36.29]But hes shook\/ he sees those bruises and he needs to please her\/
[00:39.08]Plus he dont wanna go home either\/
[00:41.53]Gives her a look they pass\/ copies down a poem from a schoolbook\/
[00:44.27]Gives it to her after hesitation\/ whoops his ass\/ she took it fast\/
[00:47.32]Lost like all sensation in her hands\/ and braced herself gracefully\/
[00:50.69]Sturdy where she stands\/ humble mumbling\/ passing the words fumbling\/
[00:54.47]Nothing discouraging\/ just nerves (just)\/ drumming up the courage\/
[00:57.18]Something bout skylines or bike rides or riverbeds\/
[00:59.75]Somethin or\/ something that he read\/
[01:02.30]Caught her right beneath the armor\/
[01:03.60]Cauterized thought of any\/ blunt force trauma\/
[01:06.15]Aint no way he could harm her\/
[01:07.68]When the curse\/ leave a shell like a snake with fresh scales \/
[01:10.13]Some people seem to call that home\/ but some souls roam\/
[01:12.73]Keep riding til the cycle is broke\/ we dont need to go through nothing alone\/
[01:17.60]When the curse\/ leave a shell like a snake with fresh scales \/
[01:20.21]Some people seem to call that home\/ but some souls roam\/
[01:23.63]Keep riding til the cycle is broke\/ we dont need to go through nothing alone\/
[01:27.95]Shes in the weather the whole storm\/
[01:30.99]Huggin on her prince his hands to skin warm\/
[01:33.43]Quick out the door no note no forlorn\/
[01:36.05]Cause all they heard was Papa dont hit me no more\/
[01:38.64]But they couldnt seem to keep the swelling down\/
[01:40.64]How they regretting ever letting out this 3rd child born\/
[01:44.16]But things are getting better now\/ cozy sweater now\/
[01:46.51]With her thumbs through the holes in her sleeves worn down\/
[01:48.97]And boy similar\/ noise minimal\/
[01:51.41]Toy criminal joys simple when someones found it in you\/
[01:53.91]Somehow it boosts the individual\/ that bluish hue is mutual they\/
[01:56.66]Make love gently\/ so aware of each others bruises\/
[01:59.96]And sorta scared they could lose this\/
[02:02.27]Trust bury the blues\/ somewhere it wont bear roots\/
[02:04.68]But is this boy where the truth is\/ shes spooked see\/
[02:08.33]Fruit never seems to fall far from the useless\/ branch that its attached to\/
[02:11.97]And quacks say if hes beat up hes bound to smack you\/
[02:14.95]Shes down to step back now\/ he ever get loud\/
[02:17.61]She couldnt be proud of whatever she might do\/
[02:20.31]This is the first time she ever felt touched\/
[02:22.91]That didnt bring her to hush like something was being done to her\/
[02:25.21]That unscrews her\/ she loosens with the booze\/
[02:27.93]Her hinge can stay bent\/ addressing her dudes wounds\/
[02:30.53]Regressing to bedrooms\/ where fools ignored dont\/
[02:32.94]Hes not one of them tools that\/ screws nuts and bolts\/
[02:35.50]And she know that\/ and she know that\/
[02:37.10]And she know that\/ but she holds back\/ and she hope that\/
[02:40.37]He see the way she flinch\/ cuz its kneejerk\/ to brace for attack\/
[02:43.38]Even if hes only rubbing her back\/ I mean\/
[02:46.18]And even if its like the deck has been stacked\/
[02:48.76]Its not an act hes really loving her back\/
[02:50.39]Hold your heart up\/ never raise your hand\/
[02:52.69]She says that with her grown up voice\/
[02:54.53]Im yours now\/ just like a child\/
[02:56.53]Dont be scared now\/ the words click\/ a piece finally fits\/
[02:59.40]I love you\/ they say that with they lips\/
[03:02.02]never raise your hand\/

[03:12.20]When the curse\/ leave a shell like a snake with fresh scales\/
[03:14.77]Some people seem to call that home\/ but some souls roam\/
[03:17.82]Keep riding til the cycle is broke\/ we dont need to go through nothing alone\/
[03:21.97]When the curse\/ leave a shell like a snake with fresh scales\/
[03:25.03]Some people seem to call that home\/ but some souls roam\/
[03:27.87]Keep riding til the cycle is broke\/ we dont need to go through nothing alone\/
