[ Featuring Alok Vaid-Menon ]
I've built my fences
I'm not ready to risk it
Tell me what I've become
I had a nightmare
I didn't see the premonition
Tell me what I've become
When falling in doubt
You trust me a little less
The freedom to possess
My body's disappearance
If laying on doubt
Would make me voiceless
I'll never be like that
I'll never be like that
Can someone be brave for us?
Can someone be brave for us?
Can someone be brave for us?
Can someone be?
Can someone be?
Can someone be brave for us?
Can someone be brave for us?
Can someone be brave for us?
Can someone be?
Can someone be?
Stop all the changes
And swallow your self ammunitions
Tell me what I've become
Come back to your senses
To accommodate what they relate to
Tell me what I've become
When falling in doubt
I'm always trusted less
How can I try to grasp
What's mine and timeless
If laying on doubt will make me voiceless
I'll never be like that
I'll never be like that
Can someone be brave for us?
Can someone be brave for us?
Can someone be brave for us?
Can someone be
Can someone be
Can someone be brave for us?
Can someone be brave for us?
Can someone be brave for us?
Can someone be
Can someone be
There is no loneliness like having people only see you
After you've erased yourself
We should be able to look like whatever we want without fearing persecution
We should be able to wear whatever we want without fearing violence
We should be able to decide what clothes mean to us
And not the other way around
People tell me that I'm brave for being myself, I am not
Frankly, I am terrified and exhausted
But I keep going anyways, because I believe that it shouldn't require bravery
To do something as simple as being yourself
That's not bravery, it's honesty
So let's be honest, let's stop congratulating people for being the first
And instead question what made their journey so difficult to begin with
Rather than focusing on our courage
Let's redirect the conversation to their complicity
It is easier to expect us to be resilient
Than it is to remove the obstacles that make it so impossible for us to live
