The Body Keeps Score

from Dissociate by Caverns Of Pine

lyrics

My name was abandoned
Left to tend these secrets
My will survived
By numbing out the rest
My trembling mouth
It creaked out these concerns
But you never heard, you...
Flailed my failing hopes

Escape's an idea I chase
When those who should protect you look the other way
No room for words like resist
Am I being punished for daring to exist?
But I exist

Found a way to make it through:
Wait for it to end
My body, my bones will
Bear these transgressions
Disavowed and disowned
But the rest of me
Must flee to find
Some other home

I've counted the hours
Over bitter years I've cowered

Stored in my flesh
My life's not mine

I've counted the hours
Over bitter years I've cowered
This body – it knows what comes next
This body – it knows
This body – it acts on its own
You are no longer in control
