Spectrum

She loved her // like that But telling her family? they might snap So confined she couldn’t confide She was playing girl games, offline She had an answer, but she didn’t ask for this Every little chit chat was a massive risk If she discussed it they’d be disgusted Disown her and that’d be disastrous She knew that it wasn’t their fault, They were brainwashed They believed some crazy things It’d cause her a smorgasbord of disorders If she listened to what they would think They thought that she was smiling, but they misidentified Because the clenching of her teeth was just her biting on the lie And her logic said... It’s gonna be ok, it’s gonna be ok This issue is temporary so attempt to wait for one - more - day There’s nothing wrong with you, it’s them - they’re just backwards You’re in the future, they’re in the past And they would abuse you if they knew the facts about it It’s gonna be ok, it’s gonna be ok This issue is temporary so attempt to wait until - you’re - safe You love her, don’t ever feel you should apologise Can’t control your feelings or compromise I know it’s difficult to find a guiding a light now but you’ll come out alive So HOLD ON Until you find the friends who’ll support you Until you find a place you feel secure, you need to HOLD ON Until you’re independent Wherever in the spectrum you are(2X) It’s gonna be ok It’s gonna be ok They didn’t ask, he didn’t tell If they found out, they’d give him hell If they knew the lowdown that he fell for people Regardless of pronouns He was already tormented every day But it’d escalate if he couldn’t keep a straight Face // So what’ll crack first The eggshells he treads on or himself Online he was everything he wanted But real life wouldn’t let him be as honest It’d just bring violence his way like “How do you like this attention you special snowflake?” They had problems at home and had to vent their feelings Or an underdeveloped sense of empathy But knowing that didn’t make it any easier All he could do was breathe Til his logic said... It’s gonna be ok, it’s gonna be ok This issue is temporary so attempt to wait for one - more - day Step back from the situation // the world’s not a movie, it’s not fiction You can’t think “say it, they’ll accept it” Some people kick you down just because you’re different It’s gonna be ok, it’s gonna be ok This issue is temporary so attempt to wait until - you’re - safe Be rational Unless you think they won’t attack at all You gotta keep it in man, be practical And I know you feel trapped and small right now but you’ll come out alive I CAN choose my friends And I CAN choose my family If they won’t accept me Then others will have me(3X) So HOLD ON Until you find the friends who’ll support you Until you find a place you feel secure, you need to HOLD ON Until you’re independent Wherever in the spectrum you are(2X) Hold on Its gonna be okay, Its gonna be okay Hold on It'll be okay, It'll be okay
