an original song about getting used to being stepped on and how maybe, the people you love shouldn't do that.

filmed by rick barnwell in ellicott city on 7/31/23

left a note on
my door
i don't owe you
shit anymore
i've been wondering when i said 
that you ever did
never meant to 
hold on like a
sticker on my back 
you put it there to mess around
it’s not funny anymore

and i’m not a baby 
i don’t cry over needles
in my temples and my hands
but if you press
hard enough
i could take to your command

cuz i've acclimated
to how thick your words feel in my throat
my mother says that i'm paling
look me over and tell me i don’t
feel warm to you
check over my frame
“you’re doing fine, 
i’m the one wasting away”
but I’ve acclimated
so I’ll carry you all the way home

i know you don’t mean half of the things you say to me

never thought the voodoo doll would be a devotee

and i’m not a baby i won’t whine
if you can’t come by, won't wait for you

it’s one thing to let the blood flow
another all together to find the truth 

why do i always choose
hell over someplace new
tear me down, stitch me up
don't i love this sadist stuff?

why do i always choose
hell over someplace new
tear me down, stitch me up
needles never do enough.
