lyrics

Have you ever remember raped? No.
That’s why you making jokes man!
Have you ever been oppressed? No.
That’s why you talking like you’re in the Ku Klux Klan.
You’re too weak for empathy
so here comes your trigger warning…
Everything you think is edgy
is only because you’re fucking boring.

These kind of white people could wake up.
These kind of white people could wake up.
These kind of white people could wake up.
These kind of white people could wake up.

YEAH, BITCHES ARE JUST SLUTS TO ME...
I’m still a virgin, never had a girlfriend,
women scare me cause they’re so much more beautiful
than I am so when I feel love, it hurts.

YEAH, I SAY THE N WORD...
I grew up in a white neighborhood, went to white school, worshipped white Jesus at white church.

YEAH, I USE HOMOPHOBIC SLURS...
I don’t have anything against gays though I say
the words meant to make them feel less than human
but when I say it, I just mean you’re being a bitch bro.

YEAH, I MAKE RAPE JOKES....
Though I’ve never been raped and no one has shared
their experiences since no one feels they can be vulnerable
with me out of fear I’ll make fun of them.

YEAH, I MAKE FUN OF TRANSPEOPLE
They are asking for it by being themselves i
n an intolerant society
of people who are scared to be themselves.

I CAN'T BELIEVE STUPID ASS SNOWFLAKES ACTUALLY GET OFFENDED BY WORDS...
I hate myself so since life has no meaning to me
I can’t comprehend why anyone else
would stand up for theirs.

MAN, YOU'RE SICK OF BEING OFFENDED
WELL I'M OFFENDED BY ALL YOU SHEEPLE SAYING
I CAN'T EXPRESS MY FEELINGS....
You’re sick of being offended well I’m offended
by all you sheeple saying I can’t express my feelings.
I wouldn’t describe what I have is feelings…
more like numb blocks of unexamined pain.

SO RUN TO YOUR SAFE SPACE SNOWFLAKE
while I sit stuck to the Mountain Dew residue in my mom’s basement playing video game cause
I am afraid of genuine human connection.

THAT'S KIND OF LIKE MY SAFE SPACE...
SHUT UP, I NEVER FEEL SAFE CAUSE I AIN'T NO SNOWFLAKE,
FEELING SAFE IS FOR PUSSIES...
But I really really wanna feel safe
cause I’m tired of being angry all the time.
Sure would be nice to be a snowflake in the breeze!

WHAT? I'LL SHOOT A SNOWFLAKE IN THE FACE WITH MY GUN!
Snowflakes are made out of water?

YEAH, WELL, I'M MADE OUT OF NAILS...
Nails hurt…I want to be soft like snow!

I DIDN'T JUST SAY THAT BITCH...
But I did just think it but I’m scared to admit it cause
my dad bullied me and so did all the kids in high school
so all I knew how to do was put up this hard shell
but it is so cold in here.

IF ONLY I COULD LET GO OF ALL THIS PAIN
You can…just focus on breathing…

THAT SOUNDS LIKE HIPPIE BULLSHIT...
But try it, it'll make you feel calmer

YEAH, BUT I DON'T WANT TO FEEL CALM
CAUSE I'LL WHOOP YOUR ASS
Of course you will.

THIS RELAXING STUFF IS MAKING ME SCARED MAMA HELP,
DAVE MATTHEWS WAS RIGHT, LIFE IS SHORT BUT SWEET FOR CERTAIN...
Your mother can't help you but I can, I am the love within you.

I'M SCARED TO CHANGE BUT IT IS ALL I WANT...
Just keep breathing and relax in the knowing
it is safe to change because beyond all the fear
that love is who you truly are,
it is who everyone

I DON'T FEEL WORTHY, I DON'T FEEL WORTHY
But you are, everyone is and when you start to see everyone in that light you will feel that way too.

I'M SUCH A BAD PERSON, I'M SO SORRY
It is ok, you can change, you can change right now…

thank YOU!


These kind of white people could wake up.
These kind of white people could wake up.

Have you ever remember raped? No.
That’s why you making jokes man!
Have you ever been oppressed? No.
That’s why you talking like you’re in the Ku Klux Klan.
You’re too weak for empathy
so here comes your trigger warning…
Everything you think is edgy
is only because you’re fucking boring.
