Hold this body as its shattering
Nerves and hearts lie quivering
Your traumas, how they go unseen
A lifting of the covered dark
The silence there it breaks your heart
Buried sounds I believe you
I tell you now, I always knew
That this happens to women
Oh oh oh and women-kind
Maimed bodies make the longest of lines
So the voices sink deep down
Ropes they pull at buried sounds
Reigning hands they threaten us
To carry inside a silent dust
Our body's not a public space
A corporal autonomous space
Hands that enter your space
They violate the whole human race
Take your body back for you
In sacred flesh held in sacred view
Women girls, all genders align
Survivor's blood, survivors mind
And everyone who cares for others lives
It's time, this silence comes alive
Before it breaks the night
And there are no stars left in our eyes
I hear your silence I always knew
I tell you now
I believe you
Under the shadowed covering Hold this body as its shattering Nerves and hearts lie quivering Your traumas, how they go unseen A lifting of the covered dark The silence there it breaks your heart Buried sounds I believe you I tell you now, I always knew That this happens to women Oh oh oh and women-kind Maimed bodies make the longest of lines So the voices sink deep down Ropes they pull at buried sounds Reigning hands they threaten us To carry inside a silent dust Our body's not a public space A corporal autonomous space Hands that enter your space They violate the whole human race Take your body back for you In sacred flesh held in sacred view Women girls, all genders align Survivor's blood, survivors mind And everyone who cares for others lives It's time, this silence comes alive Before it breaks the night And there are no stars left in our eyes I hear your silence I always knew I tell you now I believe you Explain Request ×
