lyrics

Many times I’ve tried to write something worthwhile,
A love song if you will
Yet I can’t allow myself to pen any words

What’s one worth today when this world is falling from your god given grace?
Besides, my pain isn’t unique to me alone
Even Ian said: “a love song’s a stance; just make a lack thereof”
I wish I could forget, yet every day reminds me:

Kids are being kicked out of their homes for not fitting the gender their mom and dad prayed for
A man feels the need to grab a woman on the street to feel fulfilled
My lineage would rather see them dying in the street to uphold fear
And people I won’t ever meet make decisions for your body, your holy temple

Better culture, more retention
More examples, less transgressors
More reaction means revelation
Less education, better warfare
Better standards, more stimulation
More division, better content
Less creation, more influence
Less commitment, better partners

No exception: you went and lost her

I know this
