[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/
[03:03.50]He says that with her grown up voice/
[03:04.66]Im yours now/ just like a child/
[03:06.96]Dont be scared now/ the words click/ a piece finally fits/
[03:09.76]I love you/ they say that with they lips/
[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/
