The one who raised me


I was raised by the one who brought me down

I was raised by the one who would help me drown

So i beg on a bended knee

For someone to come and feel me

Feel the very reason i hurt

And the very reason i can't wear a shirt

So i’ll sit on my knees and wait for them to come

While the one who raised me

Makes me numb
