Patterns

there are patterns, patterns to behavior
patterns, patterns to abuse of power
doesn't surprise me, it hasn’t ever
repetition as normalizer
watching tv, should change the channel
so many stories resurfacing
a voice shivering, answering questions
you know some things you say you can't unsay them
why didn't you fight? why didn't you fight harder?
who are they gonna believe? who are they gonna believe?
why did you fight? why did you bother?
there's nothing to gain
nothing to gain
played by both sides, another way to be objectified
played by both sides, another way to be dehumanized
played by both sides
boys will be boys will be boys will be men will be
men will be men will be men will be boys will be
boys will be boys will be boys will be men will be
men will be men will be men will be boys
why didn't you fight? why didn't you fight harder?
who are they gonna believe? who are they gonna believe?
why did you fight? why did you bother?
there's nothing to gain
nothing to gain
there are patterns
double standards
rules and order
procedure
there are structures
incremental nudge forward
still more abuse of power
there are patterns
why didn't you fight? why didn't you fight harder?
who are they gonna believe? who are they gonna believe?
why did you fight? why did you bother?
there's nothing to gain
nothing to gain
boys will be boys will be boys will be men will be
men will be men will be men will be boys will be
boys will be boys will be boys will be victims
boys will be boys will be forced to be men
still hear them laughing
still hear them laughing

Worry

you know i worry you know i worry you know i worry
you know i don’t sleep you know i barely trust my instincts
you know i worry you know i worry you know i worry
i worry you’re sneaking up on me
looking over my shoulder
observing your nature
i can’t tell what you’re after
so keep your hands where i can see them
you think i’m paranoid or too suspicious
well, danger lurks behind known faces
when you try to catch me off guard don’t forget
i walk around with my fists clenched
don't know which direction to be facing
second guessing all intentions
keep your hands where i can see them
i’m a mother who eats her babies cuz it’s gonna be a lean year
if it’s pray or preying i’ll be preying, i’ll make you cry my tears
i’m a mother who eats her babies cuz it’s gonna be a lean year
if it’s pray or preying i’ll be preying, i’ll make you cry my tears
i’m a mother who eats her babies cuz it’s gonna be a lean year
looking over my shoulder
observing your nature
you should be more suspicious
cuz danger lurks in known faces
i’m a mother who eats her babies
cuz it’s gonna be a lean year
if it’s be pray or preying i’ll be preying
i’ll make you cry my tears
you know i worry you know i worry you
better keep your hands where i can see them
you know i worry you know i worry you
better keep your hands where i can see them

Interchangeable

have we met before? your face looks familiar
one syllable names all sound the same
i can’t tell you apart anymore
interchangeable
another interaction that's indistinguishable
the same lines and canned laughter
the harder you smile the more i feel interchangeable
i’d feel bad for overgeneralizing
if i was more than a means to an end to you
i’d feel bad, overgeneralizing
but i’m just another face to fuck to you
eroded till i am your blandest fantasy
there's no point of view for me in this dynamic
no matter what i give no humanity in what i get back
so disappointed in being right again
should’ve stopped before i wanted something
wanting anything is wanting too much
what i want i don't believe in
what i settle for will never be enough
should’ve stopped before i wanted something
wanting anything is wanting too much
what i want i don't believe in
what i settle for will never be enough
should’ve stopped before i wanted something
wanting anything is wanting too much
what i want i don't believe in
what i settle for will never be enough
should’ve stopped before i wanted something
wanting anything is wanting too much
what i want i don't believe in
what i settle for will never be enough

Girl Alone

escort me to my car
i’m a girl alone
don’t let me out of sight
no walking home
girl alone
i can’t defend myself
they’ll overpower me
women must be victims
and i’m a girl alone
girl alone
i wanna live my life
not change my behaviors
but i’m a girl alone
there’s so many male dangers
girl alone
and it’ll be my fault
if i’m dead in the morning
cuz when you’re a girl alone
you gotta heed all the warnings
girl alone
girl alone at night
girl alone, girl alone, girl alone at night
girl alone, girl alone, girl alone
escort me to my car
i’m a girl alone
don’t let me out of sight
no walking home
girl alone, girl alone, girl alone
i can’t defend myself
they’ll overpower me
women must be victims
and i’m a girl alone
girl alone, girl alone, girl alone
i wanna live my life
not change my behaviors
but i’m a girl alone
there’s so many male dangers
girl alone, girl alone, girl alone
and it’ll be my fault
if i’m dead in the morning
cuz when you’re a girl alone
you gotta heed all the warnings
girl alone, girl alone, girl alone, at night
girl alone, girl alone, girl alone, at night
girl alone, girl alone, girl alone
pepper spray, tasers
none of it matters
self defense, crying out
lying face down in the gutter
pepper spray, tasers
none of it matters
self defense, crying out
lying face down in the gutter
