I came into this world to stay alive

I was born owned by a master

Once I earned my freedom

I continued to act as a slave

Like a vampire

everything you did

to stop me from being free

was so easy to reassimilate.

As you were so convinced

that you were fighting me

I was starting to make sense

of what it means to be free

You started to buy a bunch of things

As if being free meant owning a bunch of shit

And you were so convinced

That it was the only way...

You were so sure you were living the dream

But the wound in my back was getting deeper

From the very beginning, I was so fragile
