[Intro]
Yeah, I’ve been crawl-in through the shadows, feeling empty inside
Toxic roots, they run deep, I can’t seem to hide
Mama, papa, what’s the point? Left me feeling so pitched
Now I walk alone these streets, with my soul stitched
[Verse 1]
Raised in a house where love was just a word
Silent screams echo, all I heard, absurd
Bruised emotions, scars I can’t see but feel
Worthless echoes in my mind, they’re real
Manipulation, yeah, they played me like a pawn
Thought I was strong, but I was dying at dawn
Turned to a stranger, in a mirror I don’t know
Walking with these burdens, heavy as a stone
[Pre-Chorus]
They say I should forgive, but I can't forget
Lost in my pain, tryna dodge the regret
Feeling so alone, like I’m on a ledge
Fighting these demons, don’t push me over the edge
[Chorus]
Toxic family, you made me feel worthless
Drowned in your shadows, I couldn’t surface
Now I stand alone, scars unseen, unspoken
Rising from the ashes, yeah, I’m awoken
[Verse 2]
They built me in their image, broken and battered
Taught me I was nothing, only love they mattered
But I found my strength, through the pain and the tears
Reclaiming my voice, confronting my fears
No more chains, I’m breaking free from your grip
Your poison didn’t define me, I won’t slip
All those nights feeling empty, feeling so alone
Now I’m carving my own path, making it my home
[Pre-Chorus]
They say I should forgive, but I can't forget
Lost in my pain, tryna dodge the regret
Feeling so alone, like I’m on a ledge
Fighting these demons, don’t push me over the edge
[Chorus]
Toxic family, you made me feel worthless
Drowned in your shadows, I couldn’t surface
Now I stand alone, scars unseen, unspoken
Rising from the ashes, yeah, I’m awoken
[Outro]
This is my story, from darkness to light
From feelings of nothing, to ready to fight
Toxic roots, I’m cutting them loose
Rebuilding myself, I refuse to lose
