The HIRS Collective
Always Surviving
[Intro]
We are. We are
We are. We are
We are. We are
We are. We are
[Verse 1]
Here's to all of us who managed to glean power from the same words hurled at us behind and ahead of fists
Objects from cars, unwanted advances, and weapons like weird little fucking alchemists
We're turning shit into strength, shit into power
Shit into power
[Verse 2]
Our bodies and faces wouldn't let us hide even when we wanted to
We were told we were fucked up long before we knew our greatness
Now we're reimagining our limits
[Verse 3]
Grasping back at the hands that tried to tell us that our lives aren't worth living
Swatting them into the same obscurity they tried to trap us in
Here's to us
[Verse 4]
Unwanted and weird, loud, unruly and opinionated
Ugly, working through it, behind it, steeped in some things but always surviving
Always surviving
