Bleeding soul, the deepest cut

I thread the needle, but this wound won’t shut

Sleepless nights, I’m not all right

Curse this body and its fight or flight

I am all grown up now, and the past is behind

But in the darkness safety is a thing within I cannot find

And you know, I know you do.. Tell me, can you sleep? ‘Cuz I bet you can!

I still pay for your sins and the price is my mind

I don’t want to lose my sanity, but sometimes I’m forced to

You try carrying all this weight without breaking!

I rebuild myself from scratch again every damn time!

Broken glass in my blood

When I act out the pain I am always misunderstood

I am trying so damn hard to make sense of other people’s fucked up behaviour

It’s hard, so damn hard!

Always having to be your own saviour

I am all grown up now, FUCK YOU for calling me a child

’Cuz when did I ever really get to be one..?

And this healing process sure is gonna take me a while

(maybe the rest of my life, but I am willing to do the work)

Fully whole is what I aim to become

I’ll get there!

I’m all grown up now, but I will always have so much respect for younger me

What you went through, what you dealt with..

The warrior child inside, I’ll set you free

I’ll set myself free!

The warrior child inside, keep living on in me

You live on in me!

I am the storm that survived the rain

I am the beauty born out of the pain

You tried to bend me, you tried to break

But I’m the soul you could never take!

Warrior child-rising from the dust

Warrior child-in myself I trust

The needle is moving, the thread is held tight

I’m stepping out of the shadows and into my light!

Warrior child..

You live on in me!
