about

Here's to anyone who's ever thrown homophobic slurs my way. You forced me to become stronger.

lyrics

Weeds have long since overgrown.
In a special place,
My home.

Growing vines and twisted lies
Have found their way in my fragile spine.
So I pull and fight
and till and try
I know I'm not fine.

I can still hear your voices
In the corners of
My mind.

You can think that you broke me
With those words you thought defined,
But I defy.

Weeds have long since taken hold
Of a special place,
My bones.

Though I know it'll take more than time
Believe me I'll be
Just fine.
