about

The song is remnant of Mary’s personal experience with assault and gang mentality that had the musician change schools at the age of 14 from lack of support, understanding and a constant barrage of bullying.

The song is inherently about what a lot of people face when the story is skewed from the truth, unsupportive of a victims experience, and how that damages someone’s psyche, their strength to stand up for themselves, and their reputation.

lyrics

This town is a wreck
I know it's perfect yet
A threat
Sits right on the edge
Evaluating
The lump in your chest
And if it will grow legs

They would laugh at me
While I try to breathe
Beside your swimming pool
Where I've been drowning all this time
And the candour you throw
Around makes you look like a prick
And I wish I knew this
Before it made me sick

Line them up and roll them down
Take possession of what you like
We're not human so
Power to you
Suck spit that horrible taste
And the dollars it makes
Feed your dog and the rest
Gives more reason to

Tip toe that pillar holds
Your ego but I
Don't care anymore
Feel it sinking in
and through all this
You're an intolerable wimp
Vulgar and cruel
Just like - your friends
Who make fun of the weak

And the damage you did doesn't ruin your day does it
But the torment you gave still keeps me awake

Sorry to cause such offence by
Keeping you out
Of the space between my legs man
You figured it out
But it was I who was thrown under the bus
To boost your high school rep

I'm getting better the older I get
Forced out of a space I had the right to exist in
I'll wear my guilt complex around like a pin
Stab you in the eye if
I EVER SEE YOU AGAIN

So roll me again I won't bend back so easily
And the best part is you probably don't still think about me
