Womankind Lyrics
Womankind - Emily Jane White
Written by：Emily Jane White
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
