I can still taste you, and I hate it

That wasn't a choice in the mind of a child and you knew it

You took the first slice of me and you ate it raw

Ripped it in with your teeth and your lips like a cannibal

You fucking animal

I can still taste you, and it kills me

That there's still some sick part of it that thrills me

That my own body keeps betraying me

There is such power there, it may destroy me

But it compels me

Of course I deny it

Can hardly believe it

Dismiss or demean it

'Cause I know I can't speak it

But when I began to tell

It became thе hardest thing

I ever said out loud

Thе words got locked in my throat

Man, I choked

And this is what it feels like to be free

Even though it follows back down

Stares into the dark with me

Even then I deny it

Can hardly believe it

Dismiss or demean it

But I know I must speak it

If I could forgive you now

Release you from all of the

Blame I know how

If I could forgive you now

As if saying the words

Will help me know how

To begin again

Help me know how

To begin

Help me know how

To begin again

Help me know how

To begin again

Begin again
