Here I Am, Vulnerability Songtext
von Joe Billy

Board me up
Keep me grounded in my cage
While I bottle up my rage
And bury it deep
And I′ll grow up
So every time I close my eyes
I fear the myriad of lies
Tucked within me

So I, I defy
Whatever these bigots tell me
And ask why
Do I cry
Every time
By just the thought of hugging my own brother
Tell me why
Do I try
So hard


Well these walls
Were constructed secretly
Seemed to be improvement to me
Are graffitied poorly
With safety and necessity
Preventative personality
Half assed vulnerability

So I, I will defy
My cycle of self indulgence
Then ask why
Do I hide
From the fire
When I'm so intent to be the one to stand and fight
Well no more
I am here

We need to be loved much more than we think
In this battle where it′s easier to just sink
So here I am vulnerability, take me as you will
I am that I am, as I climb up this steep hill

So I, I will defy
My normalized barriers
And tell them why
I won't hide, or bide my time
I'll break free from what separates you and I
And be free, within the fire
