Listen to Me Lyrics

I see you standing there holding it all in
Your mother said not to interject in a conversation between men
You've got a voice but you're taught to deny it
You're taught to keep quiet
You're ready to fight it
You said
I see you talking to me ignoring her
Our fathers said
"Don't be a faggot, show her what makes a real man."
We need to listen

I'm so sick of hiding it
"That's just the way it is."
I'm ready to fight it
You said
"It's time for you to listen to me
I have stopped breathing
You didn't even see me gasping for air."
You said
"It's time for you to listen to me
I have stopped breathing
You didn't even see me gasping for air."
