lyrics

KEE LIN
The following was a blur to me, a flood of parents’ worst grief
Their daughter killed their only son; plus, I’d hurt the police

But that wasn’t the worst they’d be, they spat over my words and pleas
Welling up my hurt from deep, I screamed “the cop tried to murder me”
For nothing, they wished my brother survived instead of a girl like me
At first it sounds absurd except, in retrospect, a certainty

The irony finally seared in my mind:
They’d be fine if I died; I’d decided to fight
Was there ever a choice? Nope. I’m taking it back.
Can’t stop my flow, be water and go, redirect the attack

So what? the world has forsaken me
Enough, it’s me and my agency
Let’s see how much more I got

Thrown–

PARENTS
Out!

KEE LIN
Thrown from my home
Now the end is unknown
How do I go it alone?

Breathe in
Breathing
Leaving
Repeating this isn’t my–

KEE LIN
Breathe in
Breathing
Believing PARENTS
Believing Kee Lin,

This is my fault. This is your fault.
