Spectrum ~ Boyinaband

{Boyinaband}:
She loved her like that
But telling her family? They might snap
So confined she couldn't confide
She was playing girl games, offline
She had an answer, but she didn't ask for this
Every little chit chat was a massive risk
If she discussed it they'd be disgusted
Disown her and that'd be disastrous
She knew that it wasn't their fault, they were brainwashed
They believed some crazy things
It'd cause her a smorgasbord of disorders
If she listened to what they would think
They thought that she was smiling, but they misidentified
Because the clenching of her teeth was just her biting on the lie

And her logic said

{Minx & Boyinaband}:
It's gonna be okay, it's gonna be okay
This issue is temporary so attempt to wait for one - more - day
There's nothing wrong with you, it's them - they're just backwards
You're in the future, they're in the past
And they would abuse you if they knew the facts about it
It's gonna be okay, it's gonna be okay
This issue is temporary so attempt to wait until - you're - safe
You love her, don't ever feel you should apologise
Can't control your feelings or compromise
I know it's difficult to find a guiding light now but you'll come out alive

So

{Boyinaband:}
HOLD ON
Until you find the friends who'll support you
Until you find a place you feel secure, you need to
HOLD ON
Until you're independent
Wherever in the spectrum you are
HOLD ON
Until you find the friends who'll support you
Until you find a place you feel secure, you need to
HOLD ON
Until you're independent
Wherever in the spectrum you are

It's gonna be okay
It's gonna be okay

{Boyinaband:}
They didn't ask, he didn't tell
If they found out, they'd give him hell
If they knew the lowdown that he fell for people
Regardless of pronouns
He was already tormented every day
But it'd escalate if he couldn't keep a straight face
So what'll crack first
The eggshells he treads on or himself
Online he was everything he wanted
But real life wouldn't let him be as honest
It'd just bring violence his way like
"How do you like this attention you special snowflake?"
They had problems at home and had to vent their feelings
Or an underdeveloped sense of empathy
But knowing that didn't make it any easier
All he could do was breathe

Til his logic said

{Boyinaband & Cryaotic:}
It's gonna be okay, it's gonna be okay
This issue is temporary so attempt to wait for one - more - day
Step back from the situation
The world's not a movie, it's not fiction
You can't think "say it, they'll accept it"
Some people kick you down just because you're different
It's gonna be ok, it's gonna be ok
This issue is temporary so attempt to wait until - you're - safe
Be rational
Unless you think they won't attack at all
You gotta keep it in man, be practical
And I know you feel trapped and small right now but you'll come out alive

{Boyinaband x3:}
I CAN choose my friends
And I CAN choose my family
If they won't accept me
Then others will have me

{Boyinaband:}
So
HOLD ON
Until you find the friends who'll support you
Until you find a place you feel secure, you need to
HOLD ON
Until you're independent
Wherever in the spectrum you are

{Boyinaband, Minx & Cryaotic:}
HOLD ON
It's gonna be okay, it's gonna be okay
HOLD ON
It'll be okay, it'll be OKAY
