Call The Names

Call The Names

Verse 1

You're not considered to be beautiful

Even when you dress up and go to town

Men don't stare at you

They don't talk to you

On your way home, you feel like a fool

Wondering why you bother to get their attention

You're different than most

That's why you're unique

But you view yourself as being ugly

As being undesirable and pathetic

It's difficult to change your way of thinking

When the opinions of others are valued

More than your own

Verse 2

You're the most despised, you're the most feared

You still don't understand the reasons why 

Everyone stares at you

Everyone talks about you

Being the centre of attention makes you feel uncomfortable

Like you're under a microscope

Being analyzed, always criticized

As a result, you view yourself as inferior

Somewhat defective, in need of reconstruction

To assemble a better version of you

It's difficult to have confidence

When the opinions of others are valued

More than your own

Verse 3

We're on opposite sides of a spectrum

Battling each other for sanity and survival

Thus destroying ourselves as bitter rivals

Seemingly incapable of changing ourselves

Through understanding and compassion

We're always losing as others are benefiting

From our disconnectedness

We're not who we were meant to be

Chorus

Let's the call the names

They're always with us

In our hearts, in our minds

We're surrounded by thieves, liars and traitors

We're in between the truth and a lie

When our inventions have failed us

And we're in the remains of the darkest of times

We won't surrender, we won't waste away

We'll get together and call the names
