lirik lagu the michael character - safe world
i pat my pockets to see; wallet, house keys, and cell phone
k, i’m good to leave my house now
i touch the back of my head
i don’t have a two~mirror system so i can’t see my hair back there
if it feels alright
i reach for the door and go
but when i leave i don’t think
about the people who could hurt me
about the people who have hurt me
about the chaos outside my bedroom
oh, because i live in a safe world
i live in a world that’s safe for me
i live in a world that was made to be safe for people like me:
people with money; men with light skin; able~bodied cis~folk who just blend in
i’m not visibly queer
half my family is white
i live in the heart of the empire
so i’ll be alright
so nathan is driving the car and we are going real fast down 70 eastbound and i am
thinking about the role that the presumption of safety plays in my daily life all the time
fear simply underpins life for so many while i rarely ever feel threatened in a serious way
that’s a significant difference that i need to be mindful of
to be helpful to my friends and favs
i think about the function fear plays in my life:
man, i’m freaked out by spiders and afraid of heights
but no one’s gonna grab me when i’m walking down the street
and i never have to reroute to protect myself from creeps, yeah
no one will deny my right to publicly exist
no sh~t bag vigilante will try to sell the gun he k!lled me with
no one’s gonna murder me while i jog in the park
no cop will shoot me dead while i just sit in my car and
no one will assault me and then blame my clothes
no imperial lackey is ever gonna blow up my house with drones
no eight year old kid will ever call me “f~ggot!” on the street
and then high~five his bigot father while i panic~smoke furiously
that’s not my life, but it is for my friends
it is for many more people than it’s comfortable to acknowledge
some people live in a safe world
some people live in an unsafe world
some people live in a safe world
some people live in an unsafe world
some people live in a safe world
most people live in an unsafe world
