Linger from Doing Fine by Skin Crawl

Fuck it

I was reliant
On you and I've had enough
I lived with your oppression
Couldn't stand who I'd become
Halted my progression
I needed abscession
From your sovereignty
And the weight you placed on me

And I can't be reliant
On your toxic suppliance
Expectations never meant for me
Well maybe now you'll see
You only bred defiance

Sat in silence for too long
I felt trapped in my own home
I had nowhere to go

To push forward is to start again
The art of living is not knowing when
To move on from this or to call it quits
To move on from this or to call it quits

You preach, in silence
Demanding compliance

Motivation is misery
Refuse to follow the narrative you imposed on me
Won't pander to your sensibilities
Escape the echo chamber

Even now you still linger
Not wrapped around your finger
I wont follow the leader
My own redeemer

And I said
What I

Meant to say to you all these years
Worked so damn hard to be your biggest fear
And there's nothing you can say to me
To discredit what I've done

To push forward is to start again
The art of living is not knowing when
To move on from this or to call it quits
To move on from this or to call it quits

To live a life under a finger
I'm amazed that you still linger
Terrified to stand on your own
Break the mold so you can go
