Just The Opposite
And I don't know how it is
that things have come to this
we've done nothing to deserve it
just the opposite.
And the world can be so unfair
you have to wonder, if God cares
we've done nothing to deserve this
just the opposite.
How fragile the walls that support us.
How the people we love can report us.
How quickly stories can distort us.
How our country threatens to deport us.
And I don't know how it is
that things have come to this
we've done nothing to deserve it
just the opposite.
Don't Dare Shout
you don't dare shout
don't let it out
never makes it any better
only clouds the distorted picture
only makes it worse
don't dare cry
left hanging exposed in weakness
doesn't matter what is true
you'll need to pick up those pieces
yourself
you have to play the hand dealt to you
you don't dare shout
don't let it out
even if they say you should
they're just fucking liars
let it out is never good
don't dare cry
and show your weakness
the saddest joke is they depend on you
better to hold up the image
with only you
knowing what is true
just play out the hand dealt to you
