Branches Lyrics by Conor

This Is How I Fight

2024

{Verse 1}
From a household of abuse
Starry eyed hopeful to a truth
That empathy has a use
To heal the world
But your broken in a place
Thatll take years to heal
Ever present but aloof
I watched you pour out yourself
Past the point of an empty vessel
One part unsettled
Two parts love unconditional
My appreciation Resonates in a space
Far below the ground
A foundation would have made
And when I spawned into this scary world
You were therе for a time before you disappеared
You just want to heal but feel a fear
Constant just like me
Two broken children in a city
Where the air is hard to breathe
And a footholds hard to make
But you did it
And I'm proud
It took two decades
But I forgive my cost in the sacrifice
Of not being around
It’s okay
Love each other forever and a day
I need to be able to say
Im proud of what you made

{Chorus}
Born in a basin
Hard to be complacent
On a vessel that is sinking
Heart racing
An everpresent feeling
Of a person you been chasing
Your whole life

{Verse 2}
From a household of abuse
Starry eyed hopeful to a truth
That odds you've overcome
Can be put to great use
From a basement
In a city where pace hastened
To a fever pitch
You sacrificed and sacrificed and sacrificed your feelings It's
Amazing that you came so far
Odds against you
You used your voice to empower those marginalized around you
I’m proud
Of who you are even after the world let you down
You did everything you could
But they melted off your crown
And you sacrificed yourself
To hold us up
No wonder the pains so deep
It's a reflect of your love
I respect you
Entirely as you are
I'm just afraid I'm not strong like you
Or even smart
You were so damn blessed
With a head full of stress
And a heart full of ache
That burns through your chest
I hope you find solace
Just know that I love you
It took me decades
Sorry I'm so late to come through

{Chorus}
Born in a basin
Hard to be complacent
On a vessel that is sinking
Heart racing
An everpresent feeling
Of a person you been chasing
Your whole life

{Verse 3}
From a world of abuse
Erratic and lost inside a truth
That he is worthy of feeling absolute
So unwhole
Never fed a safety in his soul
So he made a world he could control
Feel So angry
So damm depressed
Too young for these thoughts inside his head
So much death
Disappointing everyone especially himself
Intrinsically feeling unwell
Can't fix the vessel
Too many cracks
Too many moments
That have already passed
Too many projections
That he can't give himself
Can't find love inside a mind
Thats gone to hell
I think how you both did it
I should of got it sooner
Need to forgive myself
The me I manifested
As abuser

{Chorus}
Born in a basin
Hard to be complacent
On a vessel that is sinking
Heart racing
An everpresent feeling
Of a person you been chasing
Your whole life
