Kid Bruises

If you are feeling lost, grandma, just close your eyes
Picture being a kid in the backyard, chasing fireflies
Put them in a jar and keep the lid nice and tight
Suffocating 12 little lives
But they're bugs, so it's alright

God, I wanna kill myself, grandma
Every single day
Please don't be mad at me, grandma
I'm gonna be okay

Mom jokes with the cashier that she don't hit me no more
Now she pulls my hair and my ears 'cause it don't leave no marks
Everything is pretty much okay
Bruises on my head
Let's go, grandma, and build a snowman
Mom is busy, crying again

God, I wanna kill myself, grandma
Every single day
Please don't be mad at me, grandma
I'm gonna be okay
God, I wanna kill myself, grandma
Every single day
Things are really hard right now, grandma
But I'm gonna be okay

Don't tell grandma, don't tell grandma
Don't tell grandma, don't tell grandma
Don't tell grandma, don't tell grandma
Don't tell grandma that I wanna kill myself

God, I wanna kill myself, grandma
Every single day
Please don't be mad at me, grandma
I'm gonna be okay
God, I wanna kill myself, grandma
Every single day
Things are really hard right now, grandma
But I'ma be okay
