In September of 2021, Banshee revealed that this song was written about the first time she was sexually assaulted, which occurred when she was fifteen, and how this shattered her sense of safety.
I spent my life in silence of your crimes
Feels like a death sentence looking me right
In the eye
I've kept all of your secrets
Poisoning my mind
I need a fuckin’ blunt before I say this next line
I can still feel your fist tryna
Find it's way inside like fucking razorblades
And that's why I wanna die
I feel sick as I write and I’ve tried so many times
I just can't get the words out
You fucked me up for life
