We are saved
We are saved
But only by your hand
But only by your grace
We are saved


COWARD!


Behind glass
Watching them all float by
Side by side
While all remains on hold
Progress frozen in formaldehyde
Been staying in
Missing out on everything
Not been out in weeks
The way want to be dressing
All the time
Don't want to hide
But fatal to be wandering
When they stare on
With murder in their eyes

Would your faces look like that?
Would your faces look like that
Besides the counterfact
Of the something inbetween
That keeps on peeling back
The thin veneer of decency
Your daggers lack

Coward!
Shrinks and shrivels up
Like a beetle on it's back
Caught and burnt up in the sun
Coward!
Living half a life
Stunted by your wrath
Well no more I'm fucking done
Coward!
Pushed into my past
I'll wear my face with pride
Can't make me turn and run

Why should I be grateful for something I deserve?
The right to be alive and in the face I've earned
It took me so long to get this far
So I hate that you can still force me back
Back into my shell
Cower on my own
Back into a body where I've never felt at home
I shouldn't have to choose between identity and life
The constant threat of violence that makes me want to run and hide
In plain sight
Coward!!
Giving up on any chance at being someone that I like
Just so I can walk safely home at night
Coward!
Giving up on being myself cos I'm punished when I try
I'll never hail the boot just for leaving me alive

Coward!
Shrinks and shrivels up
Like a beetle on it's back
Caught and burnt up in the sun
Coward!
Living half a life
Stunted by your wrath
Well no more I'm fucking done
Coward!
Pushed into my past
I'll wear my face with pride
Can't make me turn and run
Coward!
Crushed beneath your boots for the last time
Never get me down now I realise
You're nothing but a fucking bunch of cowards
