I don't have to look good for you, I'm no one's work of art
And I don't want to look cute for you, I know that it breaks your heart, so sorry but
Sometimes it feels like If I'm not pretty
They would rather put a bag on me
But I take up space here with this body
If I'm not cute then I'd rather be ugly!
If you want cute then I'd rather be ugly!
I'll live as a monster if that's my only choice
Between that and objectification I'm stickin' with my voice
All my life I've been told that I should shrink
But I won't care what some random asshole thinks
I should be horrified when I look at my reflection
But I keep my eyes wide, no I don't even blink!
It makes you wanna go home and cry
Makes you wanna gouge out yr eyes
If I'm so ugly why don't you
Hunch over bow yr head and puke?
I wanna make you puke

Itchin'

We don't feel like we exist when we're young
Cause we're not supposed to
When you turn 18 throw our your clothes
Throw our your clothes, dresses and bows
You'll move to the city and make your new friends
Don't tell your father, he won't understand
First tell your mother, she already knows
If you stay silent you'll be exposed
My mother told me that it was fine it's all the same
But not to tell my dad, which sounds a lot like shame.

Angry Girls
01:56

I think back to myself new 15
and tell her what to do
I can be my own big sister
Several years removed
Sing louder! Value her more than you've been taught to
Ask to kiss her, you really ought to...
You were strong once and again you will be
Angry girls should be your friends: 1,2,3
Teenage boys won't make amends
Angry girls should be yr friends
Call the boys out! Lose your self doubt
And if you shatter
Just know that men will never fucking matter!

No Body Talk
01:40
|

It's not a social problem
not your advice to give
it's not up for discussion
it's just my body, it's where I live.
So, no body talk, nobody.
No body talk, nobody!
Always hear too much talking
Like "you're too ugly for love"
When my fat legs are walking
I'll stomp you like a bug!

Eyes Sharp
02:08
|

I keep my eyes sharp, cause you might be there
and it's the worst part, I'm never safe here
I carry your burden, a heavy curse
how much I'm hurting, you better be doing worse.
Much worse.
IT WASN'T MY FAULT
You stole my life, I can't take it back
But I can rebuild it
Carry your own burden, better watch your neck
From the rage in my heart, better keep yr eyes sharp!
And I can say "no" louder and stronger than anyone could ignore
cause I have grown so much stronger and louder than I was before
IT WASN'T MY FAULT

Moon Mom

I had a dream, she came to me
she wore garlands of violets
she accepted my silence
I find more peace in her moonlit tides
than in the sunny sea
her waves are rougher crashing
than a woman's supposed to be
when children stare, are they aware
of her beauty and her might?
Or do their mouths gape in terror
at their own adoration?
My astral mother, when we love each other
i know there was never shame
and we can call it by its name

Bad Houseguest
01:53
|

I keep seeing evil in everyone's faces,
like they and a demon melted and switched places.
And under my scabs my skin is still burning
cause I trusted my shining sun not to hurt me
But she did.
I stare at the sun through the trees
And my feet think to run and hide
but the doors are all locked from the outside
and i can't get far
cause i still can't drive
but i know--
I'm a bad houseguest
You're a gracious host
But 12 hours off schedule
I start seeing ghosts
I'm a bad houseguest
You're a lovely home
But 12 hours off schedule
I start feeling alone
I keep seeing evil in the most mundane places
Paranoia fills the gaps in all the empty spaces
But under my clothes I still feel colder
Cause I trusted death not to tap my shoulder--
But she did.
