Upon the album’s release, Samia told FLOOD:
Getting pretty scraped up climbing a fence trying to break into a school bus lot with someone, realizing I was really hoping it would scar so I’d never forget the moment.
[Verse 1]
After I cut up my thigh climbing over that fence with you
Brave and unnatural, already shrouded in reds and blues
I was so scared I had tetanus, I checked on it every night
Purple and yellow, the pregnable skin was so coarse and tight
[Chorus 1]
And now I hope it does not heal
Now I hope it does not heal
[Verse 2]
You hope I'm blind, but I give you big what and say it again
Whipping your head, tryna hide behind hair that has not grown yet
I will stand in for an older me if you say, "I trust you"
Give me your hand, gonna bite off however much I can chew
[Chorus 2]
And I hope you do not heal
I hope you do not heal
[Bridge]
Turn down, evening comes
All smooth and licked up
I’m tough, I'm tough
[Chorus 3]
But I hope I do not heal
I hope I do not heal
I hope I do not heal
I hope I do not heal
