Everything is fine

Even if you feel your heart is shattered

Even if you feel that you don’t matter

Even if you don’t know why

Everything is fine

Even if you feel no-one can hear you

Even if you wish someone was near you

Even if you cannot try

The words that they don’t give us

Are words they never gave us

The words I write on this page

They will burn down this whole place

———

So say it even though you’re not allowed

Say it unafraid and say it proud

We deserve to make a universe

Free of this hierarchical curse

Say even though you will be told

Say it unbounded and say it bold

We deserve to build the world from scratch

One day the cosmic egg will hatch

———

Everything unsaid

Everything that shows the guilt they harbour

Everything that lays to light the ardour

Everything that’s in your soul

Everything unsaid

Everything that makes you hate the ones who

Everything you need they have and you do

Everything they ever told

The words that they don’t give us

Are words they never gave us

The words I write on this page

They will burn down this whole place

So say it even though you’re not allowed

Say it unafraid and say it proud

We deserve to make a universe

Free of this hierarchical curse

Say even though you will be told

Say it unbounded and say it bold

We deserve to build the world from scratch

One day the cosmic egg will hatch

———

Everything you know

Envisioned in the deep depths of your soul

Envisioning and the life it will dole

Envisioned as secret hope

Everything you know

Envisioned acknowledgment that you need

Envisioned the greatest plants from this seed

Envisioning helps you cope

They say that they have not started this war

They say that you’re not a person, you are

They say that they are not causing you pain

They say that their glory will never wane

They say that they have not started this war

They say that you’re not a person, you are

They say that you’re getting all you deserve

They say that your being is meant to serve

———

You can’t say you fight for peoples’ defence

You can’t say this life is far too intense

You can’t say you are both human and sky

You can’t say all that they’re taught to deny

So say it even though they won’t agree

Say it for yourself, say it for me

We are going to rise up from our place

Free in our souls and imbued with grace

Say it even though they’ll call it lies

Say it from the roofs and say it wise

We are going to tell us who we are

One day they’ll know us near and far379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoFXsUsZNo
