Womankind
Under the shadowed covering
Hold this body as it's shattering
And nerves and hearts lie quivering
Your traumas, how they go unseen
A lifting of the covered dark
The silence there, it breaks your heart
And buried sounds, I believe you
I tell you now, I always knew
That this happens to women
Oh, and womenkind
Maimed bodies make the longest of lines
And so the voices sink deep down
Ropes, they pull at buried sounds
And reigning hands, they threaten us
To carry inside a silent dust
A body's not a public space
Corporal autonomous place
Hands that enter your space
They violate the whole human race
Take your body back for you
In sacred flesh, held in sacred view
Women, girls, all genders align
Survivor's blood, survivor's mind
And everyone who cares for others' lives
It's time this silence comes alive
Before it breaks the night
And there are no stars left in our eyes
I hear your silence, I always knew
I tell you now, I believe you
Hold this body as it's shattering
And nerves and hearts lie quivering
Your traumas, how they go unseen
A lifting of the covered dark
The silence there, it breaks your heart
And buried sounds, I believe you
I tell you now, I always knew
That this happens to women
Oh, and womenkind
Maimed bodies make the longest of lines
And so the voices sink deep down
Ropes, they pull at buried sounds
And reigning hands, they threaten us
To carry inside a silent dust
A body's not a public space
Corporal autonomous place
Hands that enter your space
They violate the whole human race
Take your body back for you
In sacred flesh, held in sacred view
Women, girls, all genders align
Survivor's blood, survivor's mind
And everyone who cares for others' lives
It's time this silence comes alive
Before it breaks the night
And there are no stars left in our eyes
I hear your silence, I always knew
I tell you now, I believe you
