lyrics

I let her dance in front of me
Took her by the hand and coaxed her out
Made in the image of me making her my image

Never had a chance to stand her ground
I’m holding hands with her oppressors
Which is just a kinder way of saying I oppress her

I’m not ignorant I know these good intentions pave the road
But I’m trying to change my tone

I’ve tossed and turned, crashed and burned enough times to know
I don’t have much say on who I am
But rather than give it up I'm living on the chance
I might have some say on who I’m becoming

I bit my tongue so many times
I'm spitting blood with every word
Every inch of me is screaming hypocrisy

I picked the safest time to speak
When there's bodies in the streets
Dead saints that were braver than this coward inside of me

I’m not ignorant I know my silence spoke louder than these words
But I’m trying to change my tone

I double crossed you
I double crossed you
I double crossed you again
