[Verse 1] Ashtray angels on the nightstand Plastic trophies lined up by the wall Baby teeth in a cracked glass jar You grew up learning how to fall Mama’s shaking in the kitchen Daddy’s gone Or just gone cold Cartoons humming on the TV You’re eight years old Feeling a hundred years old [Chorus] This is hell on earth In a broken little heaven Who do we blame When the blame feels earned You were born in the burn Calling it your turn Hell on earth Whose fault when a child gets hurt [Verse 2] Pill dust in the bathroom sink Your name scratched into the door Caseworker with a clipboard smile Says “you’re safe now” then you’re not sure Everyone points in a circle Doctors Dealers Family State You just point at your reflection Say “it’s me” and swallow all their hate [Chorus] [Bridge] Was it the bottle or the bloodline The street corner or the church line The first script or the first lie Who signed off on watching you die [low vocal register] You were a kid with a lunchbox Not a problem to solve Not a habit to break Just a heart that never got to evolve [Chorus]
