I'm a story from the back of your head
Dust that sticks to your arms as you sweat
A fantasy you don't dare to believe in
I'm a view with nothing to see
I've been around before I was me, well
I still don't have the answers
So I'll remain unnamed
Like the headache you're trying to walk off
It's gonna be a long walk
'Cause I've been buried
Under one of the dead end roads that
Crossed you yesterday
But you've been too busy walking to notice
And I've been too busy talking to keep a promise
There's a hole in my chest since I spilled all my insides out
Growing up growing doubts
Throwing stones, losing ground
All I do is waste our time
It means a world but it tears me apart
Love is a wonder
I wonder how long
We'll long for each other
I watched how words shape a child
Not knowing what self-love is
Time will heal no mind once built broken
I know I should have listened more
Wars happened then
Wars happen now
Can you forgive me father for I will never be as good as you?
Can you forgive me mother for I was playing god?
We share lies
We shed life
I'll be there wherever you go
I'll question every single bit of you
We're different
At least thats what you've been told
No one is special
Who would you become if love was unconditional?
Would you have to pick sides if you didn't feel left under?
Would you feel alive if you gave up on your anger?
Would you even up if the score was in your favour?
Would you need a house if we all could live together?
Would you sacrifice all you have
If you believed it doesn't belong to you?
I'd point a finger
But I'm still unsure about what I've witnessed
I'd play the victim
But I can't deny the blood that runs in my veins
Born and raised in patriarchy
Who lives inside the walls?
Who made me seek?
Who lives inside the walls?
Who made me scared of men?
