Ventana Lyrics

Consolidated Ventana

Seems like lessons learned from birth
Is this really what you're worth
Pacifier in your mouth numbs all the pain away
Some don't get caught when they steal
A couple hand jobs no big deal
Twenty years before you feel
Now I want to feel the pain
When you survive there were times you lied
And it felt so wrong
To stay alive you can cry and it makes you strong
For so long put others down
Confrontations danced around
Been so lost could you be found
Looking for coincidence
How you lost your innocence
Been so hard to convince
I should be here today
When you survive sometimes
You get high and it won't be wrong
To stay alive you can cry
'til the pain is gone
Coping skills get in the way
Misconstruing what you'd say
Are you ready to be here now today
You can't take all those years away
Falling down like rain
I could have killed you the first time
Didn't know it was a crime
Looking for some kind of sign
I didn't need you
It feels so good to be free of this prison memory
You have no power over me
I made my peace with you I'm free
When you survive sometimes you want to die
You feel so wronged
To stay alive you get to cry
You can cry all night long
So glad you survived
