Someone watch over me,
give me shelter,
give me safety.
In a quiet corner
of a quiet classroom,
there's a kid with his nose in a book and he can't understand.
The way we come of age,
friends once so close torn apart by
decisions not made by us but by birth,
the way we're brought into the world.
In a quiet apartment,
before an empty canvas,
there's a girl with a brush in her hand
painting a better world,
one where her family understands
and respects her for who she is not who she loves.
Tear me open, look inside,
tell what's wrong, what did you find.
Is my blood still red?
My heart still beating?
Were there 200 bones and lungs still breathing? Find the defect,
find the flaw,
if I'm so f***** up tell me what's wrong.
I dare you, come on, come on.
give me shelter,
give me safety.
