lyrics

I can't just pretend it doesn't happen.
I have seen privileges that come with my skin, sex and preferences.
It wasn't until I saw the world from another point of view that I realized, I've only ever walked in my own shoes.
Instances made eternal since our past has always preserved them.
Crushing hierarchies that I thought were so distant were right under my nose.
Upon my fingertips.
I can't just ignore it again, and again, and again
I can't just pretend it doesn't happen.
Time and again, we perpetuates this image of a farce utopia.

With my blood came a shadow of blessings. It follows me everywhere I go and though I try comprehend the struggle of others, I'll never fully know.
That shadow's clear as day to those who don't have it, and so I'll try my best not to take it for granted.
If you can't acknowledge it, you must be too spoiled too see, like me.
Among the powers that be who watch idly as it takes place again, and again, and again, you just pretend it doesn't fucking happen.

My pain is plain, tame, fake.
I don't understand, I can't understand.
It's my duty to take these steps in my life and try to live alongside the rest of the world.
Until that light is cast upon everyone, I'll be submerged in darkness.
