lyrics

everything we want
everything we want
everything we wanted to be
we hated the sound of ourselves in their ears we hated the sounds we couldn’t yet hear
we waited for all their invisible eyes
but they never did see us, no they never did see us we jabbed and we needled but they were pretenders we kept our joy hidden, all sick with envy
we drudged up the dirty last silt of our standing
all knowing, unknowing
suspending the speed of our comfort’s upending, wounded by no one, wrecked,
we bruised easy
everything we want
everything we want
everything we wanted to be
