Kira Rae - Erasure Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Diary pages worn and thin
Rubber shavings tell where I've been
Daddy's jazz notes locked away
Like the words I couldn't say
Some memories just won't fade to grey

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been scrubbing at these pages
Till my fingers start to bleed
But these ghosts beneath the surface
Keep on haunting endlessly

[Chorus]
Can't erase you from my mind
Though I've tried a thousand times
These beautiful wounds and paper cuts
Tell stories I can't unlove
No matter how hard I rub, rub, rub

[Verse 2]
Mama taught me how to hide
Keep those feelings deep inside
Now I'm writing in invisible ink
Singing lullabies in between
The lines of what I really mean

[Bridge]
Caribbean whispers in my head
Echo stories left unsaid
Like scattered pieces of myself
I keep hidden on the highest shelf
But they're spilling out, can't help myself

[Chorus]
Can't erase you from my mind
Though I've tried a thousand times
These beautiful wounds and paper cuts
Tell stories I can't unlove
No matter how hard I rub, rub, rub

[Outro]
Some marks were meant to stay
Like fingerprints on yesterday
I'm learning how to let them be
These scars that make up me
These scars that make up me
