Having friends who are survivors is the most enriching thing. It's a shame we share such strong bonds because of shit people, but there it is. This is for self care and being triggered. Realising you can just put your hands up, say no, and remove yourself from a situation. It's about trying to distance yourself from the past and the past not leaving.
lyrics
Got to take myself back to a place where I can start to feel safe
I wish it were as easy as getting under the covers or making a cup of tea
And I'd like to stop saying I'm fine when I'm not
And to quote Cicy "I am really fucking not"
Wish I could tell you I need to be held
And wish I could tell you I need to talk about it
And when any attempt to be social ends with someone saying his name
And I sit and shake here in fear, trapped, I can't move
"He seems like such a great guy."
Filling me with shame
Put my head in my hands
And blot out the world
Wish I could tell you I need to be held
And wish I could tell you I need to talk about it
Wish I could tell you to just push on my throat sometimes
Sometimes I don't deserve anybody's love
A bitter taste on my tongue says "Maybe I should drink tonight"
Says "Come on, it's just a bit of fun."
Can't ever approach safety
Yeah, safety's too far from me
And when any attempt to be social ends with someone saying his name
And I sit and shake here in fear, trapped, I can't move
"He seems like such a great guy."
Filling me with shame
Put my head in my hands
And blot out the world
I just feel like I'm gonna lose my mind
I listened to the songs you sung
I listened to the rain
