Some Things Have to Hurt

from S​.​A​.​D. is Rad​!​!​! by Longlast

lyrics

You broke your ankle falling off of a pier in 2002; wet sand clogging with the blood falling out of you. Did you jump or was the seaweed too slippy to balance on? The pool of red grew.

And the doctor said,
‘This is all I can do:
Bandage over the dead tissue.
You’re lucky you didn’t land on your head.’

That night your father cried;
He realised his sweet child had died.

In 2007 you cut yourself over some girl: you’d waited in the rain for hours all for her to curl her hair and arrive. The time had struck 10: you were still there.

And your mother said,
‘This is all I can do:
Bandage over the dead tissue.
You’re lucky you didn’t tell your dad instead.’

That night your mother hung her head:
She realised that everything she knew was dead.

In 2010 you moved away from home, trying to start fresh on your own. You found the bed too wide. The kitchen too cold.

And no-one said anything.

That night you hung your head and cried:
Everything you had ever known had died.
