Chalkline Lyrics - Singles - Strike Anywhere

We see the billboard girl 

the one devoted to ritual 

standing in the rain 

holding all of her pain inside 

I know you're hurting now 

but I can't point my finger at 

the words I should or shouldn't say 

anything 

to take the pain away 

to walk alone on the streets tonight 

and fear nothing 

to choose to love what we are in this life 

and shine brighter 

don't let the crosses and dollar signs 

the symbols of man unkind 

make you feel 

that you're not real 

all this time walk out 

out of the shadows 

we see the lines in chalk 

the warning sign for where we walk 

in the shadows of the cities maze 

to try and fight 

for better days 

yeah we're ungrateful 

yeah we're ungrateful for 

holy books, religious men 

values of beauty, original sin 

all this time we unwind it 

i won't give up, i'm not afraid 

Resister go 

as long as it takes 

to reverse the hypocrisy 

challenge the stakes 

of safety and survival 

at the heart 

of women's voices 

women's art 

to walk alone on the streets tonight 

and fear nothing 

to choose to love what we are in this life 

all that matters 

don't let the crosses and dollar signs 

the symbols of man unkind . . . 

I won't give up 

through all this time walk out 

out of the shadows 

if we take 

our strength 

to market 

to trade 

for their 

ugly 

beauty 

watch us 

grow up 

to war 

no more
