lacerate
lacerate

only a fledgling follows it's mother, follows it's mother
growing up, feels the same, feels the same

roots can wrap around and choke
smothering from where it's born
strangle out the open hole
spin around and kill them both

like an addicted father, molest and beg for more, molest and beg for more
growing up, tortured coming, tortured going

lacerate them both until it feels alright
raise yourself with a knife

cut the ties that bind
cut away the stem
stab until it's gone
lacerate

lacerate
