lyrics

She had the greatest wit of all,
she was the most compassionate being
her heart pumped gold and craved for live
and now it’s her who only stares at the ceiling
what made her stop, where is the spark
how can we rock a new beginning
confrontation, endless rage, I can’t be me
I have a fill-in-the-blank-identity
what brings her joy, gives me the creeps
what lets her breathe, leaves me in disbelief

we though we could handle
the fallacy’s been abandoned
aggression, collapse,
i need to rest
this shit’s up to my neck
anger, fear, hate, roaring rage,
anxiety, headache, the dominant gaze
aggression, collapse
i need to rest
this shit’s up to my neck

They say my voice can break a wall
she uses hers to be save from stumbling
“what made you stop?” they ask “what is the deal?
this is how we roll, you know, you need to get real!”
who gets to even speak at all?
they say we’ll always be hopeless dreamers
confrontation, endless rage, I can’t be me, I have a fill-in-the-blank-identity

anger, fear, hate, the dominant gaze
aggression, collapse, I need to rest
the middle finger’s raised to say
just let us rest for just one day
the world can wait, it’s been a while
the challenge’s been to not run wild
