Patches by Kept At Bay Lyrics

My broken bones and rotten guts are all the
Products of my youth
But I would say I’ve done the growing up I needed to

I’ll be alright
I know I look rough, I swear that I’m not
Fucked on the inside
And if you say so, I guess that I’m just
Blurring outlines
Between us and all your misconceptions
Keep wasting your time
I want to be the reason you hate Virginia

I let your burdens pile up until they
Made my chest cave in
You dug and clawed until you made a home under my skin

You had me convinced that I’d
Never lay eyes on calm waters again
And now I watch you make the waves you’ll end up drowning in
I’ll be alright
I know I look rough, I swear that I’m not
Fucked on the inside
And if you say so, I guess that I’m just
Blurring outlines
Between us and all your misconceptions
Keep wasting your time
I want to be the reason you hate Virginia
(I want to be the reason you hate Virginia 2x)

You let all your struggles confine you
Mine never stopped me from trying
And I’ll never say that I’m broken
If you said that you weren’t you’d be lying
Keep running and hiding from life’s weight
While you’re half in and half out I’ll make space
Too smart for your own good, but you’ll never learn
Your only concern is your fucking self

I’ll be alright
I know I look rough, I swear that I’m not
Fucked on the inside
And if you say so, I guess that I’m just
Blurring outlines
Between us and all your misconceptions
Keep wasting your time
I want to be the reason you hate Virginia

I’ll be alright
I know I look rough, I swear that I’m not
Fucked on the inside
And if you say so, I guess that I’m just
Blurring outlines
Between us and all your misconceptions
Keep wasting your time
I want to be the reason you hate Virginia
