When I was a girl, at the start of my youth I was said to be special, I was something new We took it as gospel, it molded our truth So I set sail young, as my knowledge grew So did I, in the sea, lost my first baby tooth Then the water grew rocky, sky lost it's blue Alone in my boat I didn't know how to self-soothe But I know now, my boat had a crew They didn't rock the boat as I battled the water No, they only observed as the waves crashed harder How they witnessed a child as the whole sea fought her Said something 'bout strength, then just forgot her Amazes me Hit land, a beach then forest stood My boat washed away with my childhood I headed for forest as anyone would My crew kept to shadows, didn't help like they should But if I found a child lost in the woods I'd build them a shelter as quick as I could My coat becomes blanket, huddled up in the hood I'd keep evil out, I'd help them find good If the darkness got through our makeshift shelter I'd teach her to fight, find her the nearest welder I'd pay for her shield and sword, I'd fucking help her I'd be everything she needs, I'd show her how elders Should be Should be But the woods are empty, it's just me now grown (Woods) No child to save but the one in my bones The crew left the forest once I called it home (Crew) And I put up my hood, made shelter alone I resent them for seeing all they were shown And leaving me to figure it out on my own But If I showed the crew All that I've been through They'd say "we should've known" But I've known they've known Cause how could they not have known? How could they not have known? How could they not?
