lyrics

Sarah scraped her knee running up the street
So we went inside the house
Alcohol burns, you live and learn
But some things she don’t need to find out

I feel my back against the wall
I feel like Atlas shrugging at the weigh of it all
Cause what can I do?
Sell drugs or rap, pick one of the two
Pick one
I need advice, I need a guide, the Counselor sighed, so did I, I can’t describe, how he makes me feel, like why did I show my face in the first place

There’s nothing in the world that is stronger than black fear. My whole personality’s destroyed by Black fear. Mix that with the fear of failing junior year plus the sound of my mom straight up crying in my ear cause the worst thing her Black son could do is be weird. Or queer

This is why I show my second face

Just like Sarah and the Scraped Knee. She doesn’t need to feel how I felt at 17

She doesn’t need to see how I scraped these

To be the mascot for diversity at Temple University. There will always be a black and white barrier between you and me.

I’m still scraping my knees.

The first face: is easy, the one that you see
The second face: is just a lie for my family
The third face: my true self, I keep in on the bottom shelf. It’s completely broken from stereotypes and everything I’ve felt

A furiously, chaotically fun time, like a party where everybody is beating the crap out of each other. I will buy your merch and tell my friends about this brand new (not second-rate) heavy band. white_witch
