lyrics

How many times
You’ve seen it play out that
They don’t care about you
They only want what’s best (for them)
If you had
A nickel for every
Are you sure and are you sane and
Every fucking mark

On your skin
You’d have been
Rolling in the dough, surrounded held and
Crushed under the weight
This isn’t fair
It never was for you
There has never been a thing
Presented but the door

So wake up cold
Every piece is freezing
Comfort has been stolen and is
Rubbed right in your face
Work your hardest
You work your hands right off and
This world will push you down and leave you
Right back to square one

But there ain’t
No home to go to
Not with homophobes and racists and the
Transphobes swinging fists
Some call mom
Some call dad
Some call anyone or anybody
A thousand miles away

But sometimes all you have is
A voice to use and feet to move
So I’m hoping they still work

And sometimes you lose yourself
Sometimes you run away
But I hope you’ll get a break from all this shit

Please be safe
I know it’s hard
And I can’t help you out or save you
I’m just a wallflower somewhere

Try and fight it
Know that I believe
You’ll be happier someday
And I hope it is coming soon

I believe in you
