lyrics

Between my eyes above my nose
Beneath my skull there is a stone
Colonizing with a spell
The men you love know it well
It wants to conquer and be loveless and free
But I love you and I want to get it out of me
My mothers and sisters chip away
Everyone catches my mistakes
Be the change, become a man
Kill the devil in your hands
Right now we’re building history with our teeth
There is no question, we must proceed carefully
Lest we echo the pain of yesterday
I love you all and I don’t wanna fall so I’ll listen when you say
“We want you to be better,
We need you to be wise
We all got something deep inside that makes us shitty guys
So put aside your macho pride
And think of femmes you know
Imagine they are fighting battles
Wounds that never show
So put aside your selfishness
Be more self aware
Everyone was once a baby
We just need repair”
So isolate the ancient stone
Purge it from your head
There is no room in our new world
For a pain that should be dead
