{Verse 1}

From a household of abuse

Starry eyed hopeful to a truth

That empathy has a use

To heal the world

But your broken in a place

Thatll take years to heal

Ever present but aloof

I watched you pour out yourself

Past the point of an empty vessel

One part unsettled

Two parts love unconditional

My appreciation Resonates in a space

Far below the ground

A foundation would have made

And when I spawned into this scary world

You were therе for a time before you disappеared

You just want to heal but feel a fear

Constant just like me

Two broken children in a city

Where the air is hard to breathe

And a footholds hard to make

But you did it

And I'm proud

It took two decades

But I forgive my cost in the sacrifice

Of not being around

It’s okay

Love each other forever and a day

I need to be able to say

Im proud of what you made

{Chorus}

Born in a basin

Hard to be complacent

On a vessel that is sinking

Heart racing

An everpresent feeling

Of a person you been chasing

Your whole life

{Verse 2}

From a household of abuse

Starry eyed hopeful to a truth

That odds you've overcome

Can be put to great use

From a basement

In a city where pace hastened

To a fever pitch

You sacrificed and sacrificed and sacrificed your feelings It's

Amazing that you came so far

Odds against you

You used your voice to empower those marginalized around you

I’m proud

Of who you are even after the world let you down

You did everything you could

But they melted off your crown

And you sacrificed yourself

To hold us up

No wonder the pains so deep

It's a reflect of your love

I respect you

Entirely as you are

I'm just afraid I'm not strong like you

Or even smart

You were so damn blessed

With a head full of stress

And a heart full of ache

That burns through your chest

I hope you find solace

Just know that I love you

It took me decades

Sorry I'm so late to come through

{Chorus}

Born in a basin

Hard to be complacent

On a vessel that is sinking

Heart racing

An everpresent feeling

Of a person you been chasing

Your whole life

{Verse 3}

From a world of abuse

Erratic and lost inside a truth

That he is worthy of feeling absolute

So unwhole

Never fed a safety in his soul

So he made a world he could control

Feel So angry

So damm depressed

Too young for these thoughts inside his head

So much death

Disappointing everyone especially himself

Intrinsically feeling unwell

Can't fix the vessel

Too many cracks

Too many moments

That have already passed

Too many projections

That he can't give himself

Can't find love inside a mind

Thats gone to hell

I think how you both did it

I should of got it sooner

Need to forgive myself

The me I manifested

As abuser

{Chorus}

Born in a basin

Hard to be complacent

On a vessel that is sinking

Heart racing

An everpresent feeling

Of a person you been chasing

Your whole life
