lyrics

how can i live in a world where human rights are divided?
where the way you look, the way you live says your fate is decided
christ, i'm so tired, but the world, it won't stop spinning for me

i'm walking through a minefield tryna find the ones that i love
but i question every action feeling i deserver each push and each shove
and it never feels like quite enough when i try to do my part
so i'll just crawl into the hole in my heart

how can i live in a place that claims it's the greatest?
when lives are lost, culture erased and morals, they seem greyest
christ, i'm so afraid of who i am or that i can't be unmade

i'm walking through a minefield tryna find the ones that i love
but the bombs that are going off are from below as well above
and i promise i will try my best but i don't know where to start
so i'll turn back to the hole in my heart

instead of looking through a glass window to see how people feel
take a breath and take a rest... hold onto something real

i'm walking through a minefield tryna find the ones that love
but the answers never black and white
we do our best to make a choice we can be proud of
and i'll make a million more mistakes before i tear myself apart
then i'll rebuild from the hole in my heart
