Shoulder Charge

I've been going through something quietly, so quietly
Nobody knows my trouble, nobody knows
I dress myself for city streets
These leathers shield my sadness
So nobody sees, nobody sees
Nobody sees me, nobody sees

Nothing, not my skin
Keeps out from in
I came out of this world
Not in to this world

I rehearse my hello's, "Hello, hello"
To refined deceit
And head out to meet a friend for coffee
Armoured in mascara
I hit the street and join the sea
Of islands walking the island
All of their stories underneath
In currents of unconscious
Driven by deep water
Heads above the water
Barely above the water

Nothing, not my skin
Keeps out from in
I came out of this world
Not into this world
Nothing knows a finishing
Where nothing begins
I came out of this world
Not into this world
Not from outside this world
Out of this world, out of this world
Out of this world, out of this world
I live as the world

If I told you what's been really going on
Surely I'd have lost your love
There was no one I could trust to understand
Something so personal

But at the station, in a moment
Of sonder on the platform
Standing shoulder
To shoulder, to shoulder
To shoulder, to shoulder charge
Standing shoulder to shoulder
To shoulder to shoulder charge

I found myself holding the thread
That I might trust a friend
That we might just all be in this together
Empathy's contagious
We gathered 'round a spring fed well
What a tale to tell
And what a fucking relief
That nothing one can go through
Has not been shared by two
Nothing one can go through
Has not been shared by two

Nothing, not my skin
Keeps out from in
I came out of this world
Not into this world
Nothing knows a finishing
Where nothing begins
I came out of this world
Not into this world
Not from outside this world
Out of this world, out of this world
Out of this world, out of this world
Out of this world
I live as the world
Out of this world, out of this world
Out of this world, out of this world
Out of this world, out of this world
Out of this world, out of this world
