Birth-Marked - Oceans Ate Alaska

Just a child

Who longed to see you smile

But you tore my heart apart

And forced me into the wild

Just a child

Made to carry this burden

Made to carry this burden

Cast into darkness from the day I was born

Crying out for help but beat to the floor

You never loved me

You never loved me

Battered and broken

Left stripped of emotion

These wounds go far beyond skin deep

What have you done to me?

What have you done to me?

Starved of the love I craved so desperately

Hush little baby don’t you say a fucking word

You make my skin fucking crawl

My innocence consumed by fear

Drowning in waterfalls of tears

Yet through a tyranny of words

There’s still love here

Can’t you see that there is still love here?

Battered and broken

Left stripped of emotion

These wounds go far beyond skin deep

What have you done to me?

What have you done to me?

Starved of the love I craved so desperately

Just a child

The one that you defiled

I bear the scars from my past

A life that you had exiled

Just a child

Born condemned to rejection

Waste away

Though you gave me life, you’re fucking dead to me

Waste away
