Hope

This song was written about victim shaming. 
L Y R I C S 

eyes dark, smile bright
cover the tracks of your stolen light
don't come closer to me
I can't force you to see
what you don't want to 
what you don't want to
what you don't want to

I'm not a victim when its my fault, my fault
I cannot blame you when I asked for it, with my eyes
cannot blame you when I asked for it, with my body
cannot blame you when its my fault, my fault, my fault

I'm wrong, you're right
I have deserved it every time
get your hands off of me
I can't force you to leave
if you don't want to 
if you don't want to
if you don't want to 

I'm not a victim when its my fault, my fault
I cannot blame you when I asked for it, with my eyes
cannot blame you when I asked for it, with my body
cannot blame you when its my fault, my fault, my fault

what gave you the power 
to take it all away?
to take it all away?
how did I believe you
and all the things you'd say?
the horrid things you'd say?

Oh, I'm not a victim when its my fault, my fault
I cannot blame you when I asked for it, with my eyes
cannot blame you when I asked for it, with my body
cannot blame you when its my fault, my fault, my fault

LYRICS

Stay please, I did not mean to scream and shout 
Baby, I'll do anything to work it out 

The devil's stain
I did my best to hide it well
I've caused you pain
Can't help the claws outside my shell
Got a little worked up
Don't mean to be rude
It's just easier to blame you

Stay please, I did not mean to scream and shout 
Baby, I'll do anything to work it out

I've got damage
I'll let you fix me if you're nice
If you manage
A little better, I might not have to lie 
Got a little worked up
Don't mean to be rude
It's just easier to blame you

Stay please, I did not mean to scream and shout 
Baby, I'll do anything to work it out

Work it out 
Work it out
I'll do anything to work it out

Work It Out (feat. Xerikai)

put me on a pedestal
take me down with stones
that you made for yourself
let the poison
that you bled through your own veins
burn like acid
when you light my fire again

I'm no hero,
but I'll take your place
when you've no one left to blame
I'm no hero,
but I won't hide when you cast your lies
upon my throne
upon my throne

hang me on your wall
use me as a mirror to reflect
the damage you've caused
you can close your eyes
all you want to, if you want to
but you will still feel
and no one here will save you

I won't fight you
I won't bring you down
I won't spite you
you'll come around
I won't fight you
I won't bring you down
I won't spite you
you'll come around
