Jadoth - Ballad to the Bullied Lyrics

Once upon a time there was a
Boy named Marcus, a boy named Travis
They liked each other more than many were used to
Shared lunches, lent shoulders, long glances
One day they were surrounded by a couple of bullies
Teeth were broken, ugly words spoken
Have you ever dreamed of a world where things like
This don't happen again and again?

We make them
Cowards none too shy
Stand up and run, look how they flail
Up and away
You'll see for
Them this ain't fun, words gon' be
More than a gun, we will prevail
They're up and away

We make them
Cowards none too shy
Stand up and run, look how they flail
Up and away
You'll see for
Them this ain't fun, words gon' be
More than a gun, we will prevail
They're up and away

Have you heard the story of that sweet young couple
A girl named Patricia, a guy named Corey?
When they met each other it was expected she'd brush him off
Eyebrows went up at her, fists clenched in front of him
One day he was invited by her so-called best friends
Abusing and breaking him, leaving him no choice
But forever dreamin' of a world where things like
This don't happen again and again

We make them
Cowards none too shy
Stand up and run, look how they flail
Up and away
You'll see for
Them this ain't fun, words gon' be
More than a gun, we will prevail
They're up and away

We make them
Cowards none too shy
Stand up and run, look how they flail
Up and away
You'll see for
Them this ain't fun, words gon' be
More than a gun, we will prevail
They're up and away

Saw the news about this early bloomer
Unstable feelings, careless adventures
Sent pictures that were solely for her lover's trusted eyes
Many gained insight, laughter 'bout every byte
They took from her then spat on our poor pure creature
Never had worries, never felt hatred
Now she wants to leave for a world where things like
This don't happen again and again

We make them
Cowards none too shy
Stand up and run, look how they flail
Up and away
You'll see for
Them this ain't fun, words gon' be
More than a gun, we will prevail
They're up and away

We make them
Cowards none too shy
Stand up and run, look how they flail
Up and away
You'll see for
Them this ain't fun, words gon' be
More than a gun, we will prevail
They're up and away

We make them
Cowards none too shy
Stand up and run, look how they flail
Up and away
You'll see for
Them this ain't fun, words gon' be
More than a gun, we will prevail
They're up and away

(Up and away, yeah, yeah) sing it!
(Up and away, yeah, yeah) sing it!
(Up and away, yeah, yeah) sing it!
(Up and away, yeah, yeah) sing it!
(Up and away, yeah, yeah) sing it!
(Up and away, yeah, yeah) sing it!
