lyrics

Will you hold this note with me
just a couple bars to drown out everything trying to kill us
would you hold it while i cry, would you cry with me
cause i cant stand the silence on my own and its killing everything
i dont think we'll make it on our own
i dont think we'll make it
im scared we're the only ones who know
im scared that we might break out in song and there'll be no one there to sing along
teach me how, how you got through life in so few breaths
what are the tricks you use to survive in a world like this
cause though it still hurts to wake up sometimes
its getting easier to make it through the day, but still i
is it so wrong to feel this way i asked, to feel like we're all dying
you just took my hand and shook your head
“this world is killing everything we love”
those words were yours not mine, but i agree with every part of me, oh i.

~this song is about feeling like you dont belong anywhere and the world isnt made for you. Which it isnt. I speak this as a trans*persyn and as someone who lives with severe depression, where i feel like the binaries and stigma perpetuated by this society perscribe assimilation and/or invisibility.
