Our insecurities and fear fall off our lips

and are heard by those around us

They are sinking into their skin

Expanding inside until it's all that can be felt

Spreads to the mind 

Until it's all that can be thought

To where those lies are projected onto the next wanderer

And become the stories to which the public knows 

 

These careless labels became the foundations of our division

These simple words broke us from within 

They stopped any similarity to be seen 

Any connection to be made

Any community to be built 

 

From birth we were branded

And now we are left lost and stranded
