You can say what you think

Turn around and do what you feel

Couldn’t feel for many years

I don’t know those tears so i’m listening

If I believe who you are these contradictions are real

I think I might understand

I don’t know her so I defer

Who’s this about anyway?

And what’s that saying?

Can I stop making this about me

Consumed in a culture industry?

We’ve all been playing this who’s right

Who’s wrong so long it’s just playing

My man guruseva said let it roll over you like a wave

I don’t know what you’ve been through

I don’t know what you’ve seen

You might have been perped in your own bedroom

When you were thirteen like me

I trigger you some things I’ll never understand

I never walked in those shoes

I’m just trying to stay out of my head

We devour ourselves with the latest cybertricks

I’m just your technocratic monkey in the middle

You’re the angle I get the riddle

Cut the head from the heart

Like meat forget the politics

Standing around the modem platitudes

With your typical cynical bourgeois attitudes

If I had my stuff to own

By now I would have owned it

Hella jokes ain’t yours to tella

And your intellacrats yellin

If you had commitment to show

By now you I think you would have shown it

You don’t know what I’ve gone through

You don’t know where I’ve been

I don’t feel real safe here

Wonder where are my friends?

I get triggered by you never walked in my shoes

Maybe I can learn something from what you said

I still feel this way invisible

When I hear you talk this way I feel so vulnerable

I wonder who’s going to be accountable?

Everybody’s fighting now

We should be uniting now

I trigger you so why can’t I let it go

Cause I really need you now

You get to feel how you feel

I believe you that it’s real

I still feel this way
