Contrast Lyrics

Shoved down because you're a woman

Told you can't because you're a woman

Like static noise

Told you're weak because you're a woman

Told you can't because you're a woman

Like static noise

It will all hurt

It will all hurt

It will all hurt

All the fathers, please be proud

And the mothers, one another will you show them how

Held up together by a single string on light

But it's alright

It's alright

I wish I had told you I was scared

When you left and then returned

Suddenly, without warning, my welcome mat had been worn thin

Did you notice?

Did you notice?

Did you notice?

And I've seen them spit at you, and I've seen you clean it up

And I've seen them throw you colors, and I've seen you dress them up

And I've seen them start a fire, and I've seen you live inside

And I've seen them paint your ground, and I've seen you walk the line

And I've seen them take your voice, and I've seen you as a mute

And I've seen them raise their fists, and I've seen you black and blue

And I've seen them push you down, and I've seen you get back up

And I've seen them ask for more. and I've seen you had enough

She tells me he kissed her

She tells me she got too drunk

She tells me she was followed

She tells me she hasn't told anyone

She tells me she was spit on

She tells me she'll be more careful

She tells me he didn't stop

She tells me no one believes her

She tells me she was drugged

She tells me he touched her

She tells me she was six

She tells me she feels crazy

She tells me she just wants it to go away

It will all hurt

It will all hurt

It will all hurt
