Can You Hear Me
Lexy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Just close your eyes and pretend that you never saw or heard anything
It's not like it matters to you
Sit back and tell young girls that their underage bodies are distracting
You don't wanna hear the sad truth
Our "friends" betray us and touch us in ways that we can never forget
Forever changed at just sixteen
And teach me all about how I'm just a number in your small paycheck
Your misconduct will go unseen
Get out abusers?
No, they get to stay
No justice was served
They got to graduate
Is anyone listening?
Can you all hear
Or do my complaints fall on tens of deaf ears?
Stories were shared about dozens of men
Their victims will never be heard from again
"Get out the shooter"
"Everyone, stay calm"
Inside of these halls is a nuclear bomb
Seven hours daily out of our lives
Just to go through unnecessary strife
Here are our scars, we hope that someone sees the education system's idiocy
I was hurt, he was hurt, she was hurt
But all you care about is girls' skirts
Five days a week to get bullied and beat
Now tell me who's the real cheat
You make us wear modest clothes 'cause you're a pedophile in disguise
It wouldn't be hard to expose
You could not care less about kids in your office with tears in their eyes
Maybe give them a new workload
After the yelling, together we stand
You hate to see us hate you hand in hand
Go on, take our rights away 'cause we'll fight back
What's one small protest when we've all been attacked?
I pledged allegiance to the USA
My history class left out important days
"Get out the shooter"
I'm begging you, please
Assassinations under desks, on our knees
Seven hours daily out of our lives
Just to go through unnecessary strife
Here are our scars, if they still bleed, that's fine
Is that not enough for you to draw the line?
I was hurt, they were hurt, why don't you care
Does senseless violence not make you feel scared
Five days a week to get bullied and beat
Now tell me who's the real cheat
Can't you hear us scream: "Make it stop"
Do you want us all to die
It's 'cause we're lazy, 'cause we're stupid gen z
Okay, fine
You can decide if our lives end here or if we survive
My hopes aren't high
Trans kids have to beg for their real names instead
Of the names that they all insisted are dead
"Remember your number, please forget your soul"
Is brainwashing underage people your goal
Sell my information for 42 cents
What's suicide compared to counseling expense?
When corpses are littering now-emptied halls
Remember that you're the one who killed them all
Seven hours daily out of our lives
Just to go through unnecessary strife
Here are our scars, some don't show on our skin
But still, we hope you hear our rebellion
I was hurt, we're all hurt, what will you do to save the lives of everyone but you
Five days a week, let the murders repeat
Now tell me who's the real cheat
Now tell me who's the real cheater
Can't you hear us scream




Can't you hear us scream
Can't you hear us scream
