Look at me.Forty-four years old.Look what you did to me.You told my mum you’d look after me.Now look at us.[Verse 1]Thirteen years old, torn right from my home,The judge told my mother I wouldn’t be alone.He promised a place where a boy could grow right,Then turned off the keys and left me in the night.My brain had a wire that they couldn't see,No one understood my ADHD.With autism locked inside of my head,They gave me a beating instead of my bed.Today kids get workers, they get a clear track,I got a staff member pinned on my back.No guidance, no pity, no love on the floor,Just slam of the metal and lock on the door.[Chorus]They said they’d protect me, they said they’d be right,Instead they just threw me straight into the fight.No doctor, no medicine, just heavy hands,They gave me the bruises, they gave me remand.Oh, look at me now, I’m forty-four deep,Screaming the secrets that you tried to keep.You took me from mother, you said you would care,Now answer the question: How was that fair?[Verse 2]Their ignorance turned right into my scars,In and out of the care home, in and out of the bars.Forty-four years of a life lived in pain,Trying to scrub all the dirt from my brain.Six years in a cage for the mess that they made,Paying the debt that their hands should have paid.I battled the needle, I battled the drink,I stood on the edge and refused to just sink.But the trauma was heavy, it damaged my head,Now three types of epilepsy hit me in bed.My body is breaking, it shakes to the floor,Because of the abuse behind your closed door.I chose to have nothing, no daughter or son,No child of mine faces what you have done.[Chorus]They said they’d protect me, they said they’d be right,Instead they just threw me straight into the fight.No doctor, no medicine, just heavy hands,They gave me the bruises, they gave me remand.Oh, look at me now, I’m forty-four deep,Screaming the secrets that you tried to keep.You took me from mother, you said you would care,Now answer the question: How was that fair?[Verse 3]But look at me standing, I’m still breathing air,I’m taking the fight to the ones meant to care.I’m suing the state and I’m bringing the light,To everything bad that you hid in the night.You thought I was weak, just a kid on the street,But now in the courtroom is where we will meet.You owe me my childhood, you owe me my youth,And a whole room of people will hear the raw truth.You took me from mom, said you’d look after me,Now open your eyes, 'cause you're gonna face me.[Outro](Music starts to fade out, vocals stay heavy)Three types of epilepsy.Six years inside.You did this.See you in court.Yeah. See you in court.
