privilege

Watch as the world falls apart
I beg it to restart
Count all the those who've been stilled
Respond with weighted guilt
Trade in wings for captivity
Chained by those who were elected to lead

And i pray for the day when i can walk alone
Walk up a stone step not built on broken bones
And we sing with a privilege nobody can see
But nobody's listening
And i feel sick inside when i open up my phone
Thinking it's a fair fight when it's bullets versus stones
And we sing with a privilege nobody can see
But nobody's listening

I easily gain my check by stepping on her neck
She's robbed but she fought, "what she wanted is what she got"

And I pray for the day when she can walk alone
Wear & do what she wants without fear of getting stoned
And we sing with a privilege nobody can see
But nobody's listening
And i feel sick inside when she reaps what he sewed
Wake up & turn 11 without feeling full grown
And we sing with a privilege nobody can see
But nobody's listening

And he's trapped up up inside
cause he can't change who he loves
So he ruins his whole life, locks away the red-stained dove
But his body rots within craving emotion from grown men
Nobody's listening
So he sells away his soul
Seeks out any man who can teach him what he wants, what society can't
But all he does is break from men who want to break him
Nobody's listening

What happens to the hurt you pretend you don't see?
What happens to the hurt?
It's them, it's her, it's me
