I whisper sister You act like you don't understand I've got a blister Trying in vain to hold your hand You call me precious I can hear the bark inside your bite You should chew it over Or you could end up choking on your spite Do you see what you want to be, What you're hiding from When you look at me? Do you see what you want to see? It's ok to be yourself as long as you're like me You can be yourself as long as you're like me Take away the sugar And add a cup of sticks and stones Without the sweetness We're all still made of blood and bones If I cut my hair, if I dyed my skin, If I didn't care would you let me in? If I didn't try, if I didn't bleed If I didn't cry, would you let me breathe?
