Beard

She spent her life believing
She had to do
Her god was so deceiving
He deceived you
And when she tried to break away
They broke her down
And when she tried to show her face
They pushed her around

He spent his life in silence
Living in shame
He knew that he'd face violence
If they knew his ways
For he had fallen deep in love
With another boy and
His family all believed in God

And when they met it was just another day in hell
But seeing eye to eye they instantly could tell
They were going through the same oppression in this world, so

You can be my beard in a world of lies
You know it doesn't matter 'cause we'll go to hell for who we are
And we're only putting smiles
On all their stupid faces while we go to hell for who we are

In the dark when nobody's looking

So let's do family dinner
And be all good
She's got a boy beside her
Just like she should
But there across the table sits
The one she loves and
She smiles back while they fit in

'Cause when they leave and the sun goes down they will be free
To kiss and hug the one they love, it's meant to be
Girl loves girl and boy loves boy, we'll one day own this world, but for now

You can be my beard in a world of lies
You know it doesn't matter 'cause we'll go to hell for who we are
And we're only putting smiles
On all their stupid faces while we go to hell for who we are

In the dark when nobody's looking

They can tell you what to wear and
They can tell you where to go
They can tell you not to swear
And they can tell you what to know

They can bring you to the brink and
They can bring you close enough
But they can't tell you what to think
And they can't tell you who you shouldn't love

You can be my beard in a world of lies
You know it doesn't matter 'cause we'll go to hell for who we are
And we're only putting smiles
On all their stupid faces while we go to hell for who we are

You can be my beard in a world of lies
You know it doesn't matter 'cause we'll go to hell for who we are
And we're only putting smiles
On all their stupid faces while we go to hell for who we are

In the dark when nobody's looking
