After School Trauma Club - Heal Lyrics

Where do I even start? (If we're being honest)
The beginning was the easiest part
They say that time will heal all wounds
Twenty years later, still searching for padded rooms
Those hands, they reach out
Tearing pieces of me away
Too weak to fight back
I'm still paying for what they did that day
Back when
Nobody noticed (Too afraid to speak)
I kept moving around (But it always followed me)
My youth stolen, a childhood wasted
I'll never heal from what they've taken
Is it just me? I can't stand human contact
Two years in therapy, trying to take my life back
Just to say "I love you" without breaking apart
Or relearn how to hug without guarding my heart
Those hands, they reach out
Taking everything they can
If I fought back, a gun to my head
They'll never pay for what they did
Nobody noticed (Too afraid to speak)
I kept moving around (But it always followed me)
My youth stolen, a childhood wasted
I'll never heal from what they've taken
(No, I'll never heal from what they've done)
Those motherf*ckers
They can burn in hell
Some of them probably never stopped
I doubt any of them ever got caught
I couldn't protect myself or my friends
Or the kids they preyed on next
Those hands-God, I'd cut them off
Stop them from taking what they want
As a kid, I couldn't fight back
But I'd burn them down to undo the past
Nobody noticed (Too afraid to speak)
I kept moving around (But it always followed me)
My youth stolen, a childhood wasted
I'll never heal from what they've taken
