Haven’t You Heard

Well, you can worry that you've let us down
And you can fret about preferred pronouns
You can scratch until the pain is real
Know that numbness as the blood congeals
Hearts won't mend and wounds aren't healing
The world won't care about how you're feeling
Haven't you heard?
Didn't you hear me?
Haven't you heard?
Didn't you know I love you?
Bruised and beaten and defamed
Derided, bullied and slut-shamed
Why do they always take it far too far?
You wonder who and why the fuck you are?
There's no true you, just today's persona
Gregarious extrovert, timid loner
Haven't you heard?
Didn't you hear me?
Haven't you heard?
Didn't you know we love you?
And we'll be beside you
Don't let zealots and fools divide you
Sorry for the mess, we were trying our best
Our only hope now is you
Reject the hand you've been dealt
Refuse more of the same
Burn this hateful world to the ground
Warm your hearts in its raging flames
Haven't you heard?
Didn't you hear me?
Haven't you heard?
Didn't you know I love you?
Haven't you heard?
Didn't you hear me?
Haven't you heard?
Didn't you know we love you?
