Playground

A boy stuck in a man’s body
A little girl dying to be seen
We walk around a playground
where the grass is never green

Oh love, can you hear me?
I’m right across the way 
Oh love, can you feel me?
I’m here, it’s time to play 

The gravel's rough and the wind is hot
And I fell and skinned my knee
And I’m sitting here and crying
Hoping someone will rescue me 

But no, no. Oh
That’s not the way this goes... 

We wipe the dirt off of our chins
And put on another show 
We stand tall and we grin 
Pretending to not know

Cuz we are lying through our teeth
Just hoping to survive 
In a world that’s stuck beneath
Intent on its demise 

Oh love, can you see me
I’m right in from of you 
Oh love can you feel me?
There’s something we can do

The gravel's rough and the wind is hot
And I fell and skinned my knee
And I’m tired of all the crying
Waiting for you to rescue me

I don’t know the way 
But I see you standing there 
So we either find our words to say
Or decide that we don’t care 

So fuck all of this pain 
And the fear and the belief 
This boys and girls old game 
In a world that needs relief 

I guess I’ll be alone 
And I’ll never be set free 
As a girl in a womens body 
No man to rescue me.
