Not All That Glitters
Hey yah, Oh.
This issue is systematic, for my sisters hard to cope
Yeah, hard to manage, all so harsh and tragic
This won't just go like magic, let's expose these wicked habits
Toll them out of traffic.
We've been told what a real man is, so we grow into this fallacy.
Time to unlearn all the rubbish yeah, burn toxic masculinity.
You're not responsible for what happened to you,
All your feelings are valid, don't listen to the malice
Cause you're more than that yeah, you're more than that yeah.
If there is anything I can do for you, just know that I'm out there fighting for you
Cause you're more than that yeah, you're more than that yeah.
Not All That Glitters is Gold
Not All That Shines is the Light
I will not do what I'm told, if what I'm told isn't right.
Not All That Glitters is Gold
Not All That Shines is the Light
I will not do what I'm told, if what I'm told isn't right.
Trigger warning, this is a trigger warning,
To wake up to a world complacent, too far gone and,
Sister, brothers, sons, their daughters and kids,
How many hurt by wandering hands,
How many hid?
How many have been told, this stays our dirty secret?
How many weren't believed when they didn't try to keep it, inside.
This sickness breeds on a lie.
Survivors while they grieve as they cling to their lives
Society that celebrates the face on a flyer, so who's accountable for abuse in our lives?
Violence in the places where shame shouldn't be
I'm not to blame for YOUR violation of me
How many hurt by family that can't ever speak?
My mother's mother's mother, generations that bleed.
Enough. Boys don't have to act tough,
Let it out and just cry, when these waters get rough
Take the time to listen, and don't ever judge.
With open arms, we need healing and love
I'm sorry for what happened to you my love.
I'm sorry that it happened to you my love.
Not all that glitters is gold,
Not all that shines is the light
I will not do what I'm told
If what I'm told isn't right.
Not all that glitters is gold,
Not all that shines is the light
I will not do what I'm told
If what I'm told isn't right.
Not all that glitters is gold,
Not all that shines is the light
I will not do what I'm told
If what I am told isn't right.
