Alex Dionisio - Convergence Of Hurting lyrics

You were the runt
Went to school and they beat you bad
Taken out of school to
No longer experience that
Now I know your mom and
Dad are not the smartest
Did they have a hands-off approach to class
When they taught it?
In home school and one of
Your brothers hurt you mentally
Just one of the things
That affected you detrimentally
Verbally abused so you found
Some refuge in food, video games
Bile backed up, gall bladder removed
Little love
Back in public school high senior year
You’d cling to anyone and everyone
Who’d lend you an ear is that fear?

I wonder why the convergence of
So much pain had to
Happen to you like a perfect
Storm in the rain
But I understand why you’re still
Confused to this day
It’s not all your fault
It’s just that you were raised this way

Made a lot of friends that
Senior year of high school, darling
Followed them to college but
You’re not a scholar
You stopped with your small degree
You’d work, drink, smoke, party to death and
I know your story’s deep
Sex was just a tool for acceptance
Relationships died ‘cause healthy bonds
Were not manifested
Sexing like a jackrabbit
Lack of hats on your fellas
Even screwed a bunch of dames ‘cause
The men were not better they left ya
But who the hell’s fault is that?
You put no value on the
Most sacred treasure you have, your vag
And your mind you give it away to the trends
You laugh and think it’s okay
And play with your friends
Watch out ‘cause these demons have
Come back to haunt ya
Find the fighter in you
I won’t be there when they stalk ya

I wonder why the convergence of
So much pain had to
Happen to you like a perfect
Storm in the rain
But I understand why you’re still
Confused to this day
It’s not all your fault
It’s just that you were raised this way

Even children get older
And of course you’re getting older too
How’s that guy you cheated on? Can he
Still get a hold of you?
A house condemned is not easy
To remove from sin
The dirt from your teens and
Early twenties moved back in
You don’t sweep it
Do you still sneak behind the backs of men?
Do you think feminist ideology’s
An attack on men?
At any rate, here we are at your present job
Just a job
Trying to steady date with guys but it’s hard
You scare them all away
Because you’re still wild
Juvenile and a child
You give promiscuity a wink and a smile
That’s vile
And you got to me, but you haven’t changed
So the same result came
We’re no longer a thang
Finish your new degree, girl
But also fix up your morals
You have egg on your face
Wipe it off before it’s all over

I wonder why the convergence of
So much pain had to
Happen to you like a perfect
Storm in the rain
But I understand why you’re still
Confused to this day
It’s not all your fault
It’s just that you were raised this way
