Consolidated - Ventana lyrics

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 sk**s 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 k**ed 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
