I Forgive Us All Bro

One day I decided I was a man I threw away my toys and tried My best to understand manly things Like how to hold in tears And how to push back all of your fears Behind your gritted teeth We were little soldiers who Wouldn't dare make a sound We were laughing clowns With eyes darting around Desperate not to be found I thought I had every single answer But couldn't tell my mum I loved her Until she got cancer It's such a cruel comedy What a twisted world I could objectify girls before I could even speak properly Even now I can't talk openly With the people closest to me Kill two birds with one stone Watch the two of us falling down Your silence suffocates me and We'll both drown Kill two birds with one stone Watch the two of us falling down Your silence suffocates me and We'll both drown I choked on the words I never spoke 'Till I could barely breathe Just so you'd see me as a man Other boys like me Swallowed too many tears Until their fears rotted into rage Meanwhile the girls were Looking both ways Over their shoulders Clutching keys as the sun set Building a street-wise mindset Wondering where all their time went We fell into that same dichotomy Just like our parents had You know if you cry You ain't one of the lads Kill two birds with one stone Watch the two of us falling down Your silence suffocates me and We'll both drown Kill two birds with one stone Watch the two of us falling down Your silence suffocates me and We'll both drown
