I Forgive Me

Saul Williams, Sumach Valentine, Tanya Tagaq

I only work from the waist up
Psychological epidural
Numb
I was entered too young
We were entered too young
Cast in a pit of tar
We sink
We sink
We sink
Take me back up
And then take me back
To that time I could protect myself
Take care of your children
They can't protect themselves
We were taken too young
I was entered too young
Get out get out
Get out get out
Get out get out
Get out get out
Protect me
I need help
I'm unravelling
I'm afraid
Forgive me
Forgive myself
Forgive them they say
Forgive those that have hurt you
Don't hang on to the past they say
You will only hurt yourself
I was entered too young
The past has birthed the bricks that build my bones
The past divided all my cells into this muscle I flex
Into this muscle I flex
Into this skin that I've stretched
The past is the house of these breaths
The past is the house of these breaths
I was entered too young
Do not forgive and forget
I protect and prevent
I protect and prevent
Make them eat shame and repent
I was entered too young
