Emily Jane White - Womankind lyrics

Under the shadowed covering Hold this body as its shattering Nerves and hearts lie quivering Your traumas, how they go unseen A lifting of the covered dark The silence there it breaks your heart Buried sounds I believe you I tell you now, I always knew That this happens to women Oh oh oh and women-kind Maimed bodies make the longest of lines So the voices sink deep down Ropes they pull at buried sounds Reigning hands they threaten us To carry inside a silent dust Our body's not a public space A corporal autonomous space Hands that enter your space They violate the whole human race Take your body back for you In sacred flesh held in sacred view Women girls, all genders align Survivor's blood, survivors mind And everyone who cares for others lives It's time, this silence comes alive Before it breaks the night And there are no stars left in our eyes I hear your silence I always knew I tell you now I believe you
