A Cry That You Answered [Live from Webster Hall]
Oh yeah is everybody okay?
I said, is everybody okay?
I wish I could explain to you guys like
What it's like to just do that
'Cause being on stage is a really beautiful
Thing and like it gives me this
Opportunity to perform my
Thoughts and perform
My words in front of you
But I feel so fucking far away from you
So one of my favorite things to do is just
Jump down there and look at you up close
I'm gonna be honest with you guys
It's really hard
To perform this album 'cause I wrote this
A roke Romeo and Juliet story and
It's set in a place where
They have guns and fire and
Blood and magic and all
This amazing cinematic stuff and I'm expectеd
To get on stage and
Perform it and I'm likе a
Five-foot-four girl from New Jersey
So sometimes it feels hard to do
This record the justice it deserves
But it also makes me think
Really really hard about the
Songs and about how if you strip
All that magic back if
You strip away the fucking music
Videos and whatever else
This album was two things: it was a
Cry for help, which you answered
But, it was also this, this beautiful
Story that I made for you
That you would know that you're not alone
If you are a proud member
Of the LGBT community
Can you put your hands up in the sky
Put it up higher are you proud?
Do you feel safe? Do you feel seen?
Do you know that you are fucking beautiful?
Well then this one's for us you
