This One Songtext

This one


This one comes from a place where no one speaks
Where the nicer thoughts are bottled up
Where the loudest voices learn how to hate
How to hate the, quote unquote, enemies
How to hate each other
And where I want to stand out
Just make myself clear, clearer than ever
I don′t want to be the... the freezing Greek statue
That they display on their thumbnails
I don't want to persuade myself
I have to participate in a meaningless war
I don′t care about who has it worse
Which side has the cleanest water
No, I just want to live in this big, bold, beautiful place
Where it's about the size of the heart, and not of the fists
Where I'm not convinced I should be ashamed of this body
Nor anyone is
Where they don′t tell my sister that
The darker things are the things to endorse
The weapon to use
That it′s okay to use them on me, on us
Because that's political or whatever the media said
Where they don′t use the tears they told me to shed
As cheap laughing matter
But I'm not mad at anyone, if not at myself
Or the lives who let their bitterness shape modern discourse
Maybe
Maybe we are still too imperfect
Too drawn to the battlefield against ourselves
We are so powerful, and yet we don′t know what we are doing
We are... we are so handsome
And yet we scream at the world we aren't
We... I just want my brothers to know it′s okay
That everything is okay
That everything will be okay
It's just a matter of time
Or a matter of
I don't know but
We are... we are great... and
And this one′s for us
