When the hope is low
And the doubts are high
And questions of why are left unheard
Their unspoken words hurt the most, I know
But that doesn’t mean I don’t try
Good little girls do as their told
Smile, nod and stay in that perfect mold
But I won’t let that define me
Cross the line
Reveal the system
See the light on the other side
Even when most won’t listen
There’s riot in the quiet
There’s riot in the quiet
With their power of deceit
It comes with hidden receipts
And we find it in obituaries
It comes with hidden receipts
And we find it in obituaries
They put a price on our lives
There’s always a price
With their backs turned away
See their hate grow strong
Make moves, capture their eyes
See what’s left of humanity inside
Find that voice beneath the fear
Even if just one person hears
Stand up don’t back down
Heal my own wounds in this gown
Now that I know how
Cross the line
Reveal the system
See the light on the other side
Even when most won’t listen
There’s riot in the quiet
There’s riot in the quiet
With their power of deceit
It comes with hidden receipts
And we find it in obituaries
It comes with hidden receipts
And we find it in obituaries
They put a price on our lives
There’s always a price
When the lights go dim and faith is lost
Stay true to the heart at any cost
Cause I know, there’s more to this
Rewrite my fate
Sacrifice ignorance and hate
It’s worth the price
It’s worth the price
To see the light on the other side
Love always,
Lainey
