[ Featuring CJ Gilpin ]
Can we learn to sit down?
So that others can stand
Or does everybody gotta be the man?
Do we need the acrylic sleeve
To be the things that others want us to be?
No.
The places we'd go
If that faux-masculinity
Was stricken from our bones
I'm not defined by what I take
But what I give now.
We can make a mother of a man
There's no time for playing it tough
Building castles in the air
I am both your brother and your sister
And I know
Your hell is no different to mine
And we're gonna be stuck in a thresher for life.
Don't pressure me
It's so easy
For you to dismiss me like I'm crazy
All that macho bullshit
Will exacerbate this
But I know you're more
Than what you give.
We can make a mother of a man
There's no time for playing it tough
Building castles in the air
I am both your brother and your sister
And I know
Your hell is no different to mine
And we're gonna be stuck in that thresher for life.
Soften that tongue
And settle your blood
Together we're more
(I'm with you)
Than the sum of our parts
(I'm with you now.)
The hours are long
The days are strange
I have inherited my fathers pain
I've got my mothers wishbone legs
And with them
I will run until I cannot stand.
We can make a mother of a man
There's no time for playing it tough
Building castles in the air
I am both your brother and your sister
And I know your hell is no different to mine
And we're gonna be stuck in a thresher for life
And I know your hell is no different to mine
And we're gonna be stuck in a thresher for life.
