Pa**ion Hifi - Farewell lyrics

[Verse 1: Sam Mackey] Thanks for listening to take it or leave it I'm an artist for my own benefit Not so you can worship it or spit on it Take what you need from it And if that means nothing then keep walking Your validation is not a price I require anymore I require an open-mind and if not there's the door I will not be the receiving end of your self-hate core Everything has been taken from me My eyes I can't see My heart I can't feel the music's beat I lost all materialistic And I became another female statistic The physical violation Caused a mental a**a**ination I sunk deeper and deeper into isolation Turned my back, bitter to the population I attacked myself Took a huge hit to the health But the saddest part is I can't laugh My smile is my brightest feature And he took that from me I thought I was the monster I thought I was the creature But you know what the best part is? I didn't reach for the liquor store The needle or the pipe that would have left me dead on the bathroom floor Cause I will not let him win I will not let him take everything I have worked so damn hard for You see these tattoos on my middle fingers? They are the anchors that keep me grounded from the memories that still linger One on the left one on the right To keep me balanced cause I know my dreams of peace are still in sight And finally I got these tattoos For the cla**ic middle finger salute Here I stand on stage stronger than ever screaming out f** you! So go ahead, take it or leave it Take everything I have But you cannot have the skin on my back The sores on my feet And the tears I worked so hard to weep
