I can't see you
But I feel you, in the air
You and your games
We give you so many names
I want to be your puppet on a string
Though I'm made of pure light
I wonder why
My shadows won't leave me alone
Now with my face down in the dirt
Getting over all of this hurt
I'm at the end of my rope
At the end of my rope
So just tear me up, break me down
I want to know how beautiful I am, I am
Tear me up, break me down
I want to feel your power in my hands, in my hands
I've been wearing this mask for so long
I don't even know who I am
Ever since I was little
Trying to fit in, desperate to belong
Now your textbooks, your ceremonies, your prayers
Won't do it for me no more
I'm coming straight to your door
You made me, you birthed me, now help remember me
I want to live, want to live
Tear me up, break me down
I want to know how beautiful I am, I am
So just please tear me up, break me down
I want to feel your power in my hands, in my hands
Tear me up, break me down
I want to know how beautiful I am, I am
Tear me up, break me down
I want to feel your power in my hands, in my hands
Tear me up, break me down
I want to know how beautiful I am, I am
So please just tear me up, break me down
I want to feel your power in my hands, in my hands
