lyrics

the way my year has gone
it’s like a plane of glass
came down and severed
my mind and body

and fixing it exposed
that what i thought i was
was not what i meant
to everyone i know

tell me tell me tell me
that we’re moving ahead
that when the sun comes up
won't have to swallow my dread
just to go on
just to get out the door
tell me tell me tell me
that there’s some good news
that the effort we gave
really did have a use
or just tell me
or just tell me the truth
could i could i could i
could i ever even believe it’s true

cause it feels the more i live
the less that i can say
with a voice that will not shake
that i belong here

and amidst the violence it slips through
orders to jail our parents
stencils for tracing targets on our backs
and i'm starting to think that the house that i live in never had any walls
that we'd been holding it up with our own hands for so long

our spines turned to wood
waiting for someone to relieve us
all the promises went and dried up

what's the point of persisting
when the whole world wants you dead?
how they tear up the families
first and then annihilate the rest
in the name of protection
not from gunfire or cold hands
put the lid on the pine box
call it preserving innocence
