(no subject)
I am bones and blood and flesh and skin
I'm just barely holding out
I'm just barely holding it in.
I never qualified for delicate
Could never pull off strong
I'm not really sure what I can call it
But it's helping me hold on.
Yeah, it's helping me hold on
When it's dark and when it's too bright
Helping when I think that I'm almost gone
They never said this would make it alright.
I am bones and blood and flesh and skin
I'm just barely holding out
I'm just barely holding it in.
Girl-child boy-child whatever I was
Little lost kid with the big confused eyes
And they lost me at some point-mostly because
I just gave up after so many tries
Yeah, I gave up after so many tries
Half-hearted half-assed attempts to fit in
So easy to make the little kid cry
That was one game that they knew they could win
I am bones and blood and flesh and skin
I'm just barely holding out
I'm just barely holding it in.
I can't give up and I can't just let go
Never caught the trick of doing what's healthy
Just thought they might like to know
I know actions are cheap and talk is free
Yeah, actions are cheap and talk is free
But I guess that I thought I couldn't afford it
'cause I sat silent and took what they'd give me
And I guess I've had about enough of their shit
I am bones and blood and flesh and skin
I'm just barely holding out
I'm just barely holding it in.
Scars and blood and ink and hate
Scrawling ugly words and names across myself
And I can't say them now but you just wait
I'm getting stronger while I lose my health
Yeah, I'm getting stronger but I'm losin my health
I'm sacrificing my body so I don't have to think
Left my self-esteem high up on the shelf
Busy drowning myself in blood and ink.
I am bones and blood and flesh and skin
I'm just barely holding out
I'm just barely holding it in.
I am bones and blood and flesh and skin
I'm just barely holding out
I'm just barely holding it in.
