Do You Dare?

This is why I get down
Will you pick me back up, pick me back up
Or be another put down
My reality dose may not be enough
I urge you to kneel down with the cracks in the ground
So you can hear the sound of lost voices now

Do you dare to pick up the pieces that leave cracks in the ground
Do you dare to ignore every voice,
Step as your heart starts to pound

Hey, I may look like the girl who only sits amongst flowers
Who would never stand up and fight
When someone would spit, she would cower

But, I promise you this, within these veins lays a mad fire
Thats hungrier than the emptiest, starving, stomach's desire

And more hopeless to spread than the legs
Of any desperate whore
Please sir, don't talk on top of me trying
To prove you know more

And don't stare at me with pity and try to make me believe
That you and only you have the answers you think that I need

Cause I promise you, even with your skills of conning sleaze
I will not sleep my way up in this corrupt industry

And I will not bend over while you proudly take over these reins
I will not be silenced, even if you spit,
And twist up my good name

But I will unbury my voice and the voices next to mine
And we will unearth from beneath you and lead the sheep
From the swine

This is why I get down
Will you pick me back up, pick me back up
Or be another put down
My reality dose may not be enough
I urge you to kneel down with the cracks in the ground
So you can hear the sound of lost voices now

I speak now for the silenced and will no longer dismiss
I know you've waited and waited
And hoped for my panties to just untwist

And I don't care if I sound hateful
And overly rude and crude, cause
How would you feel
If they said to make it you had to fuck every other dude?

And how would you deal with the shame and the fear
While he's getting a hard on from watching your tears
You'd shut down, and hide in your shame
And not speak of it for years

And all you ever desired was to pursue your dream career
Just to have a monster break you
If you speak, your name he'd smear

So, I'll make my voice even louder, to fuel behind me this angry choir
For where there's more than one, we will spread like wildfire
For where there's more than one we will seize the evil power
For where there's more than one... Stand or dread your final hour

Now as you step on these cracks and all these voices, don't you forget
You are just as guilty, if you don't act, so don't regret

Cause the time that you spend here carries on and comes back around
So remember the stains
The cowards and cries and step up or lay down

Yeah, deep inside me,
You will see the rips and tears of broken dreams
Please don't deny reality, when our voices here are too heavy
Cause, when you try to pick them up, they can't budge or move
You may question your strength, it may change your mood
And the stains of grass and dirt left upon your knees
Will be a small reminder of the weight we bleed

This is why I get down. Will you pick me back up, pick me back up
Or be another put down. My reality dose may not be enough
I urge you to...
Try to pick them up, they can't budge or move
You may question your strength, it may change your mood
And the stains of grass and dirt left upon your knees
Will be a small reminder of the weight we bleed
This is why I get down
