Tracing Shapes Lyrics by Nova Skye

TRAUMA PORN

0

[Verse One]
Little girl with a big frown
Learned to shout so they don’t hear a sound
Someone call the doctor
Someone should’ve stopped her
She ran away from that ghost town
Yeah, she met a man, then she settled down
Daddy’s never with you
Least he doesn’t hit you
[Pre-Chorus]
And Daddy works a nine-to-five
His body starts to crack, dead eyes
He goes to sleep and bides his time
Trapped inside his own demise
[Chorus]
My mother’s love is choking me
I laugh, but I can’t breathe
I scream, but I can’t speak
My father’s love is a ghost to me
I sob, but he just stares
I reach, but he’s not there, oh, uh
[Verse Two]
Little kids in a tiny room
Tracing shapes into the gloom
Something’s almost starting
Hungrier than starving
You’re so smart, yeah, you’re above it all
You wanna run before you’ve learned to crawl
Figured out the ending
Watch the doom impending
[Pre-Chorus]
And Mummy works an eight ‘til two
She always has it worse than you
Oh, Mummy, if you only knew
Can someone tell me what to do?
[Chorus]
My mother’s love is choking me
I laugh, but I can’t breathe
I scream, but I can’t speak
My father’s love is a ghost to me
I sob, but he just stares
I reach, but he’s not there
[Outro]
I won’t look back ‘til recognition bleeds to black
Your hands, they ache from praying to the welfare state
I wanna live, surely we’re worth more than this?
I will escape the cycle of your empty fate
I will escape, I will escape
For all our sakes, I will escape
