Spectrum

Spectrum Lyrics

She loved her like that
But telling her family, they might snap
So confined she couldn't confine
She was playing girl games offline
She had an answer but she didn't ask for this
Every lil' chit chat was a massive risk
If she discussed it, they'd be disgusted
Disowned her then it'd be disastrous
She knew it wasn't their fault
They were brain-washed
They believed some crazy things
It would cause her
If she listened to what they would think
They thought that she was smiling
But they misidentified
Because the quenching of her teeth
Was just her biting on a lie
And her Logic said
It's gonna' be okay. x2
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 okay. x2
This issue is temporary so attempt to wait until you're safe
YOU LOVE HER
Don't ever feel you should apologize
Can't control your feelings or compromise
I know it's difficult to find your guiding right now
But you'll come out alive so
HOLD ON, hold on
Do it for the friends who support you
Do it for the place that will secure
You need to
HOLD ON, hold on
Until you're independent
Wherever in the spectrum you are x2
They didn't ask, he didn't tell
If they found out, they'd give him hell
If they knew the load down that he felt for people
Regardless of pronouns
He was already tormented everyday
But it escalated if he couldn't keep a straight face
So what woulda' cracked first?
Online it was everything he wanted
But real life wouldn't let him be as honest
It would just bring violence his way
Like
"How do you like this attention you special snowflake?"
They had problems at home and had to bend the feelings
And had to learn how to develop a 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 okay. x2
This issue is temporary so attempt to wait for one more day.
Step back on the situation
No it's not a movie
It's not fiction
Some people kick you down just because you're different
It's gonna' be okay. x2
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 x3
So, HOLD ON, hold on.
Do it for the friends who support you
Do it for the place that will secure you
Need to
HOLD ON, hold on.
Until you're independent
Wherever in the spectrum you are
HOLD ON, hold on.
It's gonna' be okay x2
HOLD ON, hold on.
It'll be okay.
You'll be okay.
