Prompt / Lyrics
the house breathed like a drunk animal walls sweating secrets bottles clinking like warning bells i learned silence before i learned language hands taught lessons the mouth never explained love came slurred, smelling like rot and regret promises bruised easier than skin apologies tasted like metal and bile i slept with one eye open counting footsteps instead of sheep every door slam rewrote my spine fear became furniture medicine cabinets were altars powdered gods and shaking prayers you chose numbness and fed us the leftovers i watched you disappear in slow motion eyes glassed, soul pawned you traded tomorrow for one more quiet night i grew up dodging ghosts that were still breathing learning how to shrink how to vanish without dying how to carry weight without showing strain anger fermented in my ribs cold, patient, lethal i don’t scream because i’m weak i don’t scream because i survived i’m built from broken clocks and clenched jaws from mornings that tasted like last night’s mistakes from bloodlines soaked in denial and baptized in violence this isn’t a cry for help this is a record of damage i am not what you did to me but i am proof it happened i carry the rot but it doesn’t own me i learned how to crawl out of hell without becoming it
