People Are Small / Rapture

Lyrics

[Intro - People Are Small] [Rapture] [Verse 1] Eyes are falling Lips are falling Hair is falling to the ground Slowly, softly Falling, falling Down in silence to the ground All the world is falling, falling All the blue From me and you Tear drops falling to the ground [Chorus 1] Tear drops I'm talkin' 'bout your tear drops [Verse 2] For instance, oh my mama She's been falling Falling down for quite some time Oh my papa He's been falling Falling down for quite some time Oh, my friends I've watched them falling Falling softly to the ground Like the leaves The leaves are falling Down in silence to the ground [Chorus 2] Is this the rapture? Is this the rapture? Why don't you tell me? Is this the rapture? Is this the rapture? [Bridge] Our father who art in heaven For the kingdom, the power, the glory, yours Now and forever [Outro(s)] [?] just like people have memories. And because trans people have been here for such long time there's a memory of us, and there are faces, and space for us. Is there enough? It is more. I want there to be space for us everywhere I would describe my gender as something that is very holy, something that is very sacred, something that I have fought for. I can describe my gender as something that is very holy So many of my friends are no longer here that it's almost staggering. I don't go to gay pride because it almost breaks my heart that all of these people that I had in my life - and when I say all, there was a point in time where every week I was going to a funeral. Every week I'm hearing some horrible horrible story of girls dying from either silicone or the virus. And- all of it was surrounded by ignorance. It was ignorance that caused people not to get help [?] means, I equate it to being a rock on the beach and the waves crash on it, drowning it, but crash- like hitting it until the [?]. And like every phase of my life [?] That's what's actually happening like, I become smoother, opened up to my own self so deeply, so honestly, someone crushing me that there's nothing of the self but honesty
