Familiar Face
Oh what a shame that he can just trust the world
Oh with a name and face that he can just keep roaming, endlessly moaning
Nobody shoots or yells, so he never needs to hide away
Nobody caws or crawls, so he gets to keep standing straight
An unbruised smile each day
Closed to the tragedies
Quiet when they're prodding at me
Will you ever have to deal with the outside shrill hollering that beats at me every single night
Opening your eyes to breathe
I'll keep hoping that one day you'll believe the raping and breaking of our skin
Hurt and afraid of someone who might call you out
Biggest fear is being lost in self doubt
Used and abused by the privilege you've known so well
I guess your familiar face will never tell me
That you are truly ruthlessly, hopelessly opposed
So cold you're
Closed to the tragedies
Calmed when they're prodding at me
Will you never have to deal with the outside shrill hollering that beats at me every single night
Opening your eyes to breathe
I'll keep hoping that one day you'll believe the raping and breaking of our skins
The raping and breaking of our skin
The raping and breaking of our skin
Oh with a name and face that he can just keep roaming, endlessly moaning
Nobody shoots or yells, so he never needs to hide away
Nobody caws or crawls, so he gets to keep standing straight
An unbruised smile each day
Closed to the tragedies
Quiet when they're prodding at me
Will you ever have to deal with the outside shrill hollering that beats at me every single night
Opening your eyes to breathe
I'll keep hoping that one day you'll believe the raping and breaking of our skin
Hurt and afraid of someone who might call you out
Biggest fear is being lost in self doubt
Used and abused by the privilege you've known so well
I guess your familiar face will never tell me
That you are truly ruthlessly, hopelessly opposed
So cold you're
Closed to the tragedies
Calmed when they're prodding at me
Will you never have to deal with the outside shrill hollering that beats at me every single night
Opening your eyes to breathe
I'll keep hoping that one day you'll believe the raping and breaking of our skins
The raping and breaking of our skin
The raping and breaking of our skin
