Stay up late on weekdays
It’s just me and the ceiling, attempting to keep feeling
Short weekends and night drives
Leave me anxious and pleading - just tell me how you’re doing
My trade-offs, and habits
Are all that keep me moving, and I can’t track who I’m failing
Feigned silence, and shaking
I’m trying to be a person, but I’m not very good at it, no
One of these days we’re going to have to,
One of these days we’re going to have to learn
One of these days we’re going to have to,
One of these days we’re going to have to learn to talk to each other
If it doesn’t kill you, does it keep you alive?
If it doesn’t hurt you, does it make it alright?
If it doesn’t numb your pain, is it even worth your time?
One of these days we’re going to have to learn to live each other's lives
One of these days we're going to have to learn
I am the riesling that they told you not to drink
And I’ve been waiting for the day you pour me out into the sea, love
One of these days we’re going to have to,
One of these days we’re going to have to learn to talk to each other
Tear my body apart
If it doesn’t kill you, does it keep you alive?
If it doesn’t hurt you, does it make it alright?
If it doesn’t numb your pain, is it even worth your time?
One of these days we’re going to have to learn to live each other's lives
One of these days we're going to have to learn

He said:
“To get into my kingdom, you must lose everything
Come with me and I will show you (loss of) dignity
And it only has to cost you pride, bow to me”
He spoke with hollow confidence dripping from his tongue
He held tradition in one hand; your safety in the other one
He has built an empire on his veiled intimidation
Put him in his place
Cat-caller with a tarnished name
It is time to call out rapists and let their names burn in the fires they started
How did we get to a place where we knew what was happening, still looked away
Our history has favored men, but when did that become a pass to defend our actions
When you share your story, it is just the guilty ones that are the unbelievers
You are at the forefront of ending an oppressive culture that pardons abusers
I hope for futures where our daughters can walk the streets alone
I hope we learn to kill the evil that is living in our homes
I just hope you're safe right now, simply thriving on your own
He said
“To get out of my prison, you have to speak my name"
The only way his name will live on is a stone above his grave
Your end will be one of solace, unlike his end in filth and shame
He said “I love you but there is a condition"
He only loves you when he thinks you’re “his woman”
He said “I love you but there is a condition"
You said “it’s time somebody stands up and ends it”
He said “I love you but there is a condition"
His legacy is caving in
Tear down his confidence

Can it be pleasant, can it be expected, when we die
Can your eyes be brilliant, can your hands be folded over mine
If we’re simply failures, can we fail together, and stay alive
And if I die before you, will you still move forward while I stay behind
Will it be honest, will we be present, the last time we talk
Will I say I’m sorry, that I got so angry, that I couldn't stop
If we lose all our vibrance, become muted violet, can we keep our minds
Can we sit in sunrooms, becoming faded fixtures pointing to easier times
We left our eloquence dangling on clothesline in the Summer wind
I don't think I was really an inside kid, I was depressed and unfocused
This "bury a friend" shit has made it all too apparent that we all deal with this
We develop minds that we don't understand, and then we let a system win
Don’t let the system win
I won't let you lose me
So don't let me lose you
If we fade in the sunlight
We'll live on as a different hue
